No. This is for a more complicated problem.
It might be more easy to understand with a small picture. In this
discussion we can think of variable scope versus buffers in a
hierarchy like this:
1) * global variable values
2) ** buffer local variable that are permanently local
3) *** buffer local variable that are not permantly local
3, the lowest level are variables associated with major modes. If
there are several major modes in a buffer those variable will change
with the point in the buffer.
2 are the buffer level. Those variable are associated with the buffer
instead of the major mode. If the major mode is changed the
permanently local does not change. They never change with the point in
the buffer.
The situation that RMS tried to handle was when a hook variable was
local and some members of it should be independent of the major mode,
but not the whole list of variables in the hook. This is something in
between 2 and 3 above.

That is what we are trying to avoid by making buffer-offer-save
permanently local.

Nothing, but it does not fit here.
