The above statement *was* correct. The new iterator concepts were  
initially voted into TR1, but were later removed. Perhaps someone who  
was in the room when it happened could tell you more, but I'm hoping  
the new iterator concepts come back for C++0x. Concepts (the language  
feature) and move semantics force us to fix the current iterator  
concepts.
