Discussion:

There are conflicting statements about where the class `Init` is defined. According to 29.4 [iostream.objects] paragraph 2 it is defined as `basic_ios::Init`, according to 29.5.2 [ios.base] it is defined as `ios_base::Init`.

Proposed resolution:

Change 29.4 [iostream.objects] paragraph 2 from "`basic_ios::Init"` to "`ios_base::Init"`.

Rationale:

Although not strictly wrong, the standard was misleading enough to warrant the change.
