Since the "non-local variable " has been completely excised after P1787. However, there's still a similar wording survived in the current draft

All variables which do not have dynamic storage duration, do not have thread storage duration, and are not local have static storage duration.

Should we say

All variables which do not have dynamic storage duration, do not have thread storage duration, and do not belong to block and function parameter scope have static storage duration.

To be consistent with these prior modifications.

Or better "are not declared in"?

I'm neutral to preserve "local" or not (though "local scope" has been removed away after C++03 someday, it should be still familiar to many users), but "belong" seems somewhat strange to me.

A declaration that inhabits a scope does not mean the associated entity belongs to that scope.
