What are the problems with just buffer-locals? I thought they were
pretty well-defined. There's some text and an example in the manual
that explains the weird case. If there are other weird cases, I would
like to know what they are.
Once you add other kinds of locals you have to decide how they all
interact. That is a lot harder than just defining how buffer-locals
act. To my mind that is the major issue; it is simpler to just define
it away, and in practice I don't think it makes elisp harder to use.
Perhaps the latter point is wishful thinking?
