Proposed resolution (September, 2010):

Change 9.3.4.6 [dcl.fct] paragraph 2 as follows:

...T shall be the single type-specifier auto. The type of the declarator-id in D is “derived-declarator-type-list function of (parameter-declaration-clause) cv-qualifier-seqopt ref-qualifieropt returning type-id trailing-return-type”. The optional...

In 9.3.4.6 [dcl.fct] paragraph 2, the type of a function declarator with a trailing-return-type is said to be

“function of (parameter-declaration-clause) cv-qualifier-seqopt ref-qualifieropt returning type-id”.

This formulation incorrectly omits the derived-declarator-type-list modifier for the type, and it should refer to “the trailing-type-specifier-seq of the trailing-return-type” as the return type instead of type-id (which is left over from before the introduction of trailing-return-type).
