The relevant rule is a little more complicated than a simple prohibition:

"The behavior of a C ++ program is undefined if it adds declarations or
definitions to namespace std or to a namespace within namespace std
unless otherwise specified. A program may add a template specialization
for any standard library template to namespace std only if the
declaration depends on a user-defined type and the specialization meets
the standard library requirements for the original template and is not
explicitly prohibited." (20.5.4.2.1p1).
