I think so.  In that case, I suggest the following policy: A TR1 header 
should never directly include a standard header <foo>.  Instead, if it 
needs to get standard header functionality, it should include <tr1/foo> 
and should create a shadow header that includes the standard header 
<foo>.  That should help guard against inconsistencies.
