Strange.

My local variable section looks like

,----[ ~/.emacs ]
| ;;Local variables:
| ;;allout-layout: 0
| ;;End:
`----

If I add ";;mode: allout" the allout-layout won't be applied -- nothing
is collapsed/narrowed. And fontification of the headings isn't applied,
too.

Has no effect here. The fontification is still emacs lisp, but the
special allout headings are still fontified as normal comments.

I don't get you here. Does that mean that you use a different code
snippet for allout fontification? If yes, could you post your working
snippet?

And could you test my snippet with your emacs? BTW, what version do you
use? It's 22.0.95 here, maybe it's a version specific thing...

Bye,
