Thanks; I see that now (e.g. in Emacs 28.1).
BTW, there's a typo here; "of" should be "or":
As any hook, these hooks can be set either globally
of buffer-locally via the LOCAL argument of 'add-hook'
^^
(*note Setting Hooks::) when the hook is installed.

I don't think so, FWIW. One might _guess_ that it
means that, when used on a buffer-local hook the
function _is_ a buffer-local function, IOW, guess
that that's the definition of a buffer-local
function. But that's not said, AFAICT. Please
consider adding such a definition. (But should
such a general definition be in a node about only
_window_ hooks?)
FWIW, I see nothing (in 18.1) in node `Setting
Hooks' that mentions buffer-local functions. All
I see mention of there is buffer-local hooks.
(That doesn't mean there shouldn't be a link to
that node -- the link is good.)
