I believe this is incorrect. I find no such restriction. In addition,
in 14.7.3 - Explicit specialization [temp.expl.spec] we have:
-17- A member or a member template may be nested within many enclosing
class templates. If the declaration of an explicit specialization for
such a member appears in namespace scope, the member declaration shall
be preceded by a template<> for each enclosing class template that is
explicitly specialized.
It would not be necessary to say "if" above if that were the only
place it could appear.
