Jonathan believes that this was intentional, and was done by N3110. Jonathan will provide more precise references.

The usual pattern now used for identifying where bitmask elements are declared, namely, as variables, preclude declaring them as enumerators.

Compare: ctype_base::space in C++03 subclause 22.2.1 [lib.category.ctype] versus the same in N4582 subclause 22.4.1 [category.ctype].

It is unclear whether this is intentional. Further it is unclear if odr-use of bitmask elements is intended to be allowed.
