The package dir-locals from http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/dir-locals.el (that we tried to follow and reimplement in Emacs) uses the following term in its docstrings and comments: "Directory-wide file-local variables". We could use the same in Emacs. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
