Discussion:

[tab:container.req] includes the row:

Expression: i <=> j

Return Type: strong_ordering if X::iterator meets the random access iterator requirements, otherwise strong_equality. Complexity: constant

"strong_equality" is (now) a meaningless term that appears nowhere else in the working draft. Presumably we want to make the Return Type unconditionally strong_ordering, and require this expression to be valid only when i and j are random access iterators. It's not clear to me if the best way to do so would be to add a "Constraints" to the "Assertion/note/pre-/post-condition" column of this table row, or if we should pull the row out into yet another "conditionally-supported iterator requirements" table.

Proposed resolution:

semantics Assertion/note
pre/post-condition Complexity […] i <=> j strong_ordering if
X::iterator meets the
random access iterator
requirements, otherwise
strong_equality Constraints: X::iterator meets the random access iterator requirements. constant […]
