I just got a bug report for nXhtml
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/nxhtml/+bug/619587) that seems to be
caused by that left-margin-width is major mode local. I can protect
this from getting changed in mumamo.el, but I wonder whether this
variable and some other variables at the same place in buffer.c should
be made buffer local instead of major mode local. (I.e. I wonder
whether they should be have the property permanent-local set to t.)

To me it looks like it is more likely that it is used as a buffer
local variable (cf linum-mode for example) than a major mode local
variable. And when it is a major mode local variable (as it is today)
it has to be overriden by multi major modes (since the margin width is
per buffer and you do not want it to change while moving in the
buffer).

So I suggest that those variables should be made buffer local.
