I added to the doc string of 'edit-abbrevs-mode' a reference to
'edit-abbrevs', where this stuff is described. This mode is
specifically designed for editing in such a buffer, so I see no need
to repeat the documentation there, as users are unlikely to turn that
mode by themselves.

No, "current buffer" is not wrong, since the editing buffer is
prepared for editing abbrevs of the buffer that is current when the
function is invoked.

"Abbrev Concepts" is not where this is described. Please read the
following sections.
Thanks.
