[ Post-Rapperswil, Daniel provides the wording. ]

When preparing the wording for this issue I first thought about adding both u16streampos and u32streampos to the [iostream.forward] header <iosfwd> synopsis similar to streampos and wstreampos, but decided not to do so, because the IO library does not yet actively support the char16_t and char32_t character types. Adding those would misleadingly imply that they would be part of the iostreams. Also, the addition would make them also similarly equal to a typedef to fpos<mbstate_t>, as for streampos and wstreampos, so there is no loss for users that would like to use the proper fpos instantiation for these character types.

Additionally the way of referencing was chosen to follow the style suggested by NB comment GB 108.

Moved to Tentatively Ready with proposed wording after 5 positive votes on c++std-lib.
