------- Comment #1 from bangerth at dealii dot org 2006-02-15 19:45 ------- The clause you cite only deals with the lifetime of temporaries, not with the question whether they can be bound to references in the first place.
8.5.3/5 states that references can only be bound to lvalues or, if they are rvalues only to constant references.
