Discussion:
The requirements in 25.3.7, p1 and 4 call for T to satisfy the requirements of LessThanComparable ( [lessthancomparable]) and CopyConstructible (16.4.4.2 [utility.arg.requirements]). Since the functions take and return their arguments and result by const reference, I believe the CopyConstructible requirement is unnecessary.
Proposed resolution:
Remove the CopyConstructible requirement. Specifically, replace 25.3.7, p1 with
-1- Requires: Type T is LessThanComparable ( [lessthancomparable]).
and replace 25.3.7, p4 with
-4- Requires: Type T is LessThanComparable ( [lessthancomparable]).
