Description

The former states a subset of the restrictions of the latter (which also forbids things like constexpr typedef …), so it would be sufficient to drop "there can be no typedef specifier in the same decl-specifier-seq and".

Compare [dcl.stc]/1 with [dcl.typedef]/1 in the C++ standards draft. Review the quoted restriction and confirm that removing it leaves the broader prohibition in [dcl.typedef]/1 sufficient; done means the redundant wording is gone without changing the remaining rules.
