Description
It should have a defining-type-specifier-seq instead of a decl-specifier-seq, since no other decl-specifier (a storage-class-specifier, a function-specifier, friend, typedef, constexpr, consteval, constinit, or inline) can be used there (unless we expect to get constexpr function parameters any day now!).

Research direction
Start by locating the parameter-declaration grammar in the draft and compare its use of decl-specifier-seq with the issue's defining-type-specifier-seq restriction. Update the grammar so the listed non-type specifiers are not admitted, then verify the generated draft reflects the narrower production.
