And vice versa. Put xrefs at the nodes about buffer-local and frame-local, pointing to the other nodes (e.g. Local Variables). The aims are to (1) point to the other nodes, and (2) say that these are not closely related, in spite of their similar names. This would help because users are not necessarily clear that these are different critters, and looking for info about one, they might end up mistakenly reading about another, perhaps without even realizing it.
