It is not only more useful, but required to work that way.

23.11 is clear:
    All actual ports and parameters in the bind_instantiation refer
    to objects from the viewpoint of the bind_target_instance.

That means that the starting point for any hierarchical
name is the scope of the bind_target_instance.

So, given:

    module top;
      if (1) begin : a
         localparam b = 1;
      end
      bind other_top hello_mod hi(a.b);
    endmodule

    module other_top;
      if (1) begin : a
         localparam b = 2;
      end
    endmodule

    module hello_mod(input int val);
      initial $display("%0d", val);
    endmodule

You must get the value 2 displayed.

Gord.
