[Voted into the WP at the July, 2009 meeting as part of N2927.]
The grammar in 7.5.6 [expr.prim.lambda] for lambda-parameter specifies that a declarator must be present, i.e., that all lambda-parameters must be named. This also has the effect of prohibiting a lambda like [](void){}. It is not clear that there is a good reason for these restrictions; programmers could reasonably expect that lambda-parameters were like ordinary function parameters in these regards.
Proposed resolution (July, 2009)
See document PL22.16/09-0117 = WG21 N2927.
