[Voted into the WP at the February, 2012 meeting; moved to DR at the October, 2012 meeting.]
According to the new wording of 9.3.4.7 [dcl.fct.default] paragraph 5,
A default argument is implicitly converted (7.3 [conv]) to the parameter type.
This is incorrect when the default argument is a braced-init-list. That sentence doesn't seem to be necessary, but if it is kept, it should be recast in terms of initialization rather than conversion.
Proposed resolution (August, 2011):
Delete the first sentence of 9.3.4.7 [dcl.fct.default] paragraph 5:
A default argument is implicitly converted (7.3 [conv]) to the parameter type.
