[Voted into WP at October, 2009 meeting.]
The list of entities that can be explicitly specialized in 13.9.4 [temp.expl.spec] paragraph 1 includes member templates of class templates but not member templates of non-template classes. This omission could lead to the conclusion that such member templates cannot be explicitly specialized. (Note, however, that paragraph 3 refers to “an explicit specialization for a member template of [a] class or class template.”)
Proposed resolution (July, 2009):
Change 13.9.4 [temp.expl.spec] paragraph 1 as follows:
An explicit specialization of any of the following:
...
member class template of a class or class template
non-deleted member function template of a class or class template
can be declared...
