It can go on the Boost site under the "More" page.

One nit: In references to the C++ Standard, it is poor form to call
it the "ANSI" standard.  It is an international standard both in a
legalistic sense and in the sense that many of the contributors are
from outside of the US. I suppose that isn't as obvious outside of
the committee as it is inside. 

The correct identification is "ISO/IEC 14882", which I guess can be
shortened in a reference to, say, ISO 23.1/5, although a lot of
people like to include the symbolic name too (in this case
[lib.container.requirements]).
