[Voted into the WP at the March, 2011 meeting as part of paper N3262.]
The footnote for 9.3 [dcl.decl] paragraph 3 reads,
A declaration with several declarators is usually equivalent to thecorresponding sequence of declarations each with a singledeclarator... The exception occurs when a name introduced by one ofthedeclarators hides a type name used by thedecl-specifiers, so that when the same decl-specifiers are usedin a subsequent declaration, they do not have the same meaning...
A more important exception to the rule has been added in C++0x,specifically with theauto specifier when the deduced type isnot the same for alldeclarators, which renders the declarationill-formed. The footnote should be updated accordingly.
