The pattern I see in the manual is:

 -- Variable: HOOK-NAME
     This variable specifies functions ...

     Functions specified buffer-locally are called ...

     Functions specified by the default value are called ...


So there's a minor inconsistency in phrasing there.  How about we
change all of these like so:

     Functions specified by the buffer-local value are called ...

     Functions specified by the default value are called ...


Then it's consistent, and I think also resolves Drew's concern?
