I am not familiar with the design of standard container's doubly-linked 
lists. Normally, a list always deals with limited indefinite elements. 
Otherwise, it does not make much sense.

As I said, I don't know how it is designed. There are many ways to 
design a list. One is that elements are derived from linked base 
elements. Another is that links are allocated outside and point to the 
elements. A better variant of the latter is to use a custom storage pool 
and put links before the elements. In all three methods there is no 
overhead of having elements limited indefinite.
