For clarity, the RfD states:

(non-normative)
Locals: A quotation may not be able to access the locals of the outer
word because it has no knowledge of when it might be executed and hence
whether outer locals are still alive. It does permit defining and
accessing its own locals.

(normative)
It is an ambiguous condition if outer locals are visible and referred to
in the nested definition.

There appears to be rough consensus on having [: with the same privileges
as words defined with : and :NONAME. That means they are mandated to have
their own locals; we appear agreed on that.

There's nothing new here about simple visibility of locals; take DOES> as
an example. This:

: a { val1 val2 } create val1 , val2 , does> 2@ { val1 x } val1 x + . ;

The first local VAL1 is a different local from the post-DOES> VAL1, and
VAL2 is not visible in the DOES> section. No-one has suggested changing
this behaviour to support a closure over DOES>.

There are already a number of other restrictions on the use of locals
that some implementations relax. The RfD permits referring to outer
locals (and permits closures too should you wish to implement them). It
doesn't force implementations to support anything except the simplest
case. I would be reluctant to see a requirement to support

: foo { A } [: { B } A B [: { a } a b ;] B ;] A ... ;

which is what you are proposing.
