69 variables are so marked on lisp/**
Of these, 8 are really minor modes (so they are always used as buffer-local).
2 are defcustoms:
2C-separator
backup-by-copying-when-mismatch
The rest:
archive-superior-buffer
backup-inhibited
buffer-auto-save-file-format
buffer-file-format
comint-input-autoexpand
comint-input-filter-functions
comint-input-ring
comint-input-ring-index
comint-move-point-for-output
comint-output-filter-functions
comint-preoutput-filter-functions
comint-ptyp
comint-save-input-ring-index
comint-scroll-show-maximum-output
comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input
custom-local-buffer
cvs-buffer
cvs-edit-log-files
enable-character-translation
epa-file-encrypt-to

Of course, some (perhaps most) of these are made buffer-local when
used. But there are a few which are not, in a not-making-sense way.
One of them that I already mentioned is revert-buffer-function, but
backup-inhibited is even more ridiculous, because its docstring says:
This variable is intended for use by making it local to a buffer.
But it is local only if you make it local.
So we have a variable which is permanent local, *intended* to be used
as buffer-local, yet very explicitly and (apparently) purposefully not
made automatically buffer-local.
Color me puzzled,
Juanma
