The vehemence of your objection is stunning.
I am no longer arguing in favor of my proposal, but out of curiosity:

1. can you give an example of a non-self-insert buffer where any of the
special-mode-map bindings are not appropriate?

2. can you give an example of a button-buffer-map usage in a self-insert
buffer?

PS. my practical rationale was that I bound a key in special-mode-map
and was surprised that the binding was not present in *Buffer List*.
