The Annotated Reference Manual, p. 342:  the grammar for 
_template-argument_ includes _argument-declaration_,  which has at 
least one production allowing default arguments.

p. 343:
"A class template name must be unique in a program and may not be 
declared to refer to any other template, class, function, object, 
bvalue, or type in the same scope."

p. 345:
"A template function may be overloaded either by (other) functions of 
its name or by (other) template functions of that same name."

Hope this helps,

Mike
