Seems reasonable to me. Given that RESET values are stored once and never changed--just reused--static storage would be perfect. If you used automatic storage you'd either have to set the storage values at program start (therefore consume just as much total storage) or within each procedure on each call to that procedure (in which case you'd complicate the compiler for little gain).
