Thank you, I had a look at Wikipedia for the QWERTY keyboard layout (I
have a French keyboard and the layout is somehow different for \ and ]).

Modern QWERTY layout is as follows:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - =
Q W E R T Y U I O P [ ] \
A S D F G H J K L ; '
Z X C V B N M , . /

So ] is just next to \.

So, yes, definitely this is a typo, the author had too big a finger when
hitting \.

Concerning factorization, couldn't one use [\n\r] in all cases rather
than a switch based on some input argument ?

I was also wondering whether it is not possible to have a single regexp
for the whole Local Variable section. The following `doit' function is a
trial to do so. `M-x doit' will seach forward the whole Local Variables
section and display "ok" if found, "nak" otherwise.

(defun doit ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((eol "\\(\r\n?\\|\n\\)")
	 (eol-again "\\1")
	 (space-maybe "[ \t]*")
         ;; suffix may be the empty string
	 (suffix  "\\([^ \r\n]+\\(?:[^\r\n]*[^ \r\n]\\)?\\|\\)")
	 (prefix "\\([ \t]*[^ \r\n]+\\(?:[^\r\n]*[^ \r\n]\\)?\\)")
	 (prefix-again "\\2")
	 (suffix-again "\\3")
	 (symbol: "\\(?:\\(?:[^][()'\" \t\r\n]\\|\\\\[][()'\" \t]\\)+[ \t]*:\\)")
	 (sexp (concat "\\(?:" (substring prefix 2))))

    (message (if (and (re-search-forward
		  (concat eol
			  prefix space-maybe "Local Variables:" space-maybe suffix space-maybe eol-again
			  "\\(?:" prefix space-maybe symbol:  sexp space-maybe suffix-again space-maybe eol-again "\\)*"
			  prefix space-maybe "End:" space-maybe suffix space-maybe "\\(" eol-again "\\)?"
			  )
		  nil t)
                  ;; when the tailing eol is not there we must be at EOB.
                  (or (match-string 3) (eobp)))
				    "ok" "nak"))))



   Vincent.
