See 14-7-3 Example:

a function template specialization for good_tmp1 violated ODR in tmp1.cc.

Code:
// tmp1.h

template  void good_tmp1 ( ) { }

// tmp1.cc

#include "tmp1.h"

template  void good_tmp1 ( ) { }

I think function template specialization must be forward declaration in header file.
any reason for that?

You are correct, the declaration in the header file should be non-defining. This will be corrected in a Technical Corrigendum
