[sv-bc] genvar nesting

The LRM says with respect to genvars:

Because this implicit localparam has the same name as the genvar, any
reference to this name inside the
loop generate block will be a reference to the localparam, not to the
genvar. As a consequence, it is not
possible to have two nested loop generate constructs that use the same
genvar.

and that this is illegal:

genvar i;
for (i=0; i<5; i=i+1) begin:a
  for (i=0; i<5; i=i+1) begin:b
    ... // error -- using "i" as loop index for
    ... // two nested generate loops

What about the following:

for (genvar i=0; i<5; i=i+1) begin:a
  for (genvar i=0; i<5; i=i+1) begin:b
    ...

Legal? Why or not?

Thanks,
Shalom
