Proposed resolution (February, 2010):

Change 13.2 [temp.param] paragraph 11 as follows:

If a template-parameter of a class template has a default template-argument, each subsequent template-parameter shall either have a default template-argument supplied or be a template parameter pack. If a template-parameter of a primary class template is a template parameter pack, it shall be the last template-parameter. [Note: These are not requirements for function templates or class template partial specializations because template arguments might can be deduced (13.10.3 [temp.deduct]). [Example:...

13.2 [temp.param] paragraph 11 currently says,

If a template-parameter of a class template is a template parameter pack, it shall be the last template-parameter. [Note: These are not requirements for function templates because template arguments might be deduced (13.10.3 [temp.deduct])...

This restriction was only meant to apply to primary class templates, not partial specializations.

Suggested resolution:

If a template-parameter of a primary class template is a template parameter pack, it shall be the last template-parameter. [Note: These are not requirements for function templates or class template partial specializations because template arguments might be deduced (13.10.3 [temp.deduct])...
