Not all browsers have implemented the spec yet. But you should read the spec before proposing changes to it!

From V8: SyntaxError: In strict mode code, functions can only be declared at top level or immediately within another function. Similar error from SpiderMonkey.

This would trivially extend to const and var. Also, possibly class.
