I think this code is invalid as the call to Max is not going to be dependent as
the arguments are not dependent and can be looked up at the time the function
is defined.

 I think this code is invalid as the call to Max is not going to be dependent 
 as
 the arguments are not dependent and can be looked up at the time the function
 is defined.
 

I don't think I follow.  While the arguments to Max are not dependent, other
code inside of foo could be dependent on T (in the example, no such code
exists).  Shouldn't the fact that the function can be looked up at definition
time make this code legal?
