> If we have buffer-specific face attributes, or buffer-specific face

How would we do that ?  As part of the creation of the " *minibuffer-N*"
buffers ?  What about the echo area ?

> Do you ever create a minibuffer window that is part of a larger frame?

No.

> If you do, would you be unhappy if the special face
> definitions that you use for the minibuffer were effective there too?

No.
