https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.pre#5.1 mentions the following:

name-declaration, block-declaration, or member-declaration ([dcl.pre], [class.mem]),

That block-declaration is already given inside the name-declaration (at https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.pre#nt:name-declaration), hence it is redundant and should be eliminated

block-declaration is used for declaration-statement. You can't use a name-declaration there.
When we say name-declaration (or similar), we usually mean the immediate appearance of that grammar non-terminal quoted from a grammar production.

In short, the current phrasing seems intentional and desirable.
