 (elisp) `Special Events' says this, to introduce `special-event-map':

  The keymap which defines how to handle special events-and which events
  are special-is in the variable 'special-event-map' (*note Active
  Keymaps::).

I suggest that that xref to `Active Keymaps' be changed to an xref to
node `Controlling Active Maps', which is where variable
`special-event-map' is described.  If you want to _also_ have an xref to
`Active Keymaps' that would be OK.  But `Active Keymaps' says nothing
about `special-event-map'.

(You might also consider giving node `Controlling Active Maps' an xref
to node `Active Keymaps'.)
