In recent drafts for [basic.scope.block], the term for a variable belonging to a block scope has changed from local variable to block variable. However, subsequent mentions of a local variable have not been changed, leading to an ambiguous meaning.

It seems that the remain uses of "local variable" mean "block variable with automatic storage duration". Perhaps we can reintroduce the term.
