Perhaps. If you read 21.1.x closely, you'll see that


-2- The struct template

template<class charT> struct char_traits;

shall be provided in the header <string> as a basis for explicit specializations.

and

namespace std {
  template<> struct char_traits<char>;
  template<> struct char_traits<wchar_t>;
}

-1- The header <string> declares two structs that are specializations of
 the template struct char_traits. 

Are the only explicitly specified bits in <string>

Please correct me if I've missed something. I believe the current 3.2
sources are standards-conforming.

For people who are curious, I suggest adding the generic defintions back
in and running the testsuite. The issues are immediately obvious.
