Discussion:

There are conflicting statements about where the class Init is defined. According to 31.4 [iostream.objects] paragraph 2 it is defined as basic_ios::Init, according to 31.5.2 [ios.base] it is defined as ios_base::Init.

Proposed resolution:

Change 31.4 [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.
