Discussion:
Paragraph 5 specifies:
For set and multiset the value type is the same as the key type. For map and multimap it is equal to pair<const Key, T>.
Strictly speaking, this is not correct because for set and multiset the value type is the same as the constant key type.
Rationale:
Not a defect. The Standard is correct as written; it uses a different mechanism (const &) for set and multiset. See issue 103 for a related issue.
