You have added the word "standard"; the standard itself just says 
"headers", not "standard headers" in 16.2.  Neither 16.2, nor the section 
that says the standard library is supplied via headers (17.4.1.2), nor 
anyplace else I can find, says that only the standard library may be 
#included via header rather than source file.  As far as I can see, it is 
perfectly valid for a library other than the standard library to be 
supplied via header.

Am I missing some wording you have discovered?
