I don't think that the C++ committee feels the onus is on them to use the language idioms "correctly", nor even define what "correct" usage is (though they can certainly give guidelines). To that end, while a person's teachers, bosses and friends may have a duty to steer them one way or another, I believe the C++ committee (and therefore the standard) does not have that duty.

Yeah, I just read N2951 and I agree that the standard committee has no obligation to add unnecessary limitations regarding the usage of a function. But the names of these two function templates (move and forward) are indeed a bit confusing seeing only their definitions in the library file or standard documentation (23.2.5 Forward/move helpers). The examples in the standard definitely help understand the concept, but it might be useful to add more remarks to make things a bit more clearer.
