Am I allowed to move elements out of a std::initializer_list<T>?

#include <initializer_list>
#include <utility>

template<typename T>
void foo(std::initializer_list<T> list)
{
    for (auto it = list.begin(); it != list.end(); ++it)
    {
        bar(std::move(*it));   // kosher?
    }
}

Since std::intializer_list<T> requires special compiler attention and does not have value semantics like normal containers of the C++ standard library, I'd rather be safe than sorry and ask.
