[class.temporary] talks about two very different kinds of temporaries: the most well-known ones, which are created by temporary materialization, and the much less well-known ones, which are created at the implementation's discretion to store function parameters and return values in registers.
It would be helpful to be able to cross-reference the latter specifically, for example in Example 2 to [dcl.contract.res]. We can't currently do that because we can't cross-reference a particular paragraph within a section.
My suggestion is that we create a new subsection [class.temporary.general] which contains current paragraph 1, followed by [class.temporary.materialization] which contains current paragraph 2, followed by [class.temporary.function] which contains current paragraph 3, and finally [class.temporary.lifetime] which contains all remaining paragraphs.

I don't think a simple split of a single subclause is tied to the general clause reorganization; the former can be done at any time.
I don't particularly like the single-paragraph subdivision proposed here, though. Maybe we can move the lifetime rules into .general ?
