Right. I'm only complaining about the "eight", really. Forth 200x requires 16 locals, so the wording needs to change. However, I'm also also like to make what you said clear, by changing the wording to make the fact that more are permitted. As written, it sounds like allowing more than that number makes the word non-compliant. In fact, the wording for {: contains no hard limits, but instead defers to the introductory material, which says pretty much what you said. In other words, that "up to eight" is written like an unnecessary additional restriction.
