We agree.  It's defined nowhere, AFAICT.  That's
the point of the bug report.

Is that the node you've linked to?  I thought
you linked to node `Setting Hooks', where
`add-hook' is covered.  (I think you said you
linked to where `add-hook' is covered?)

FWIW, I don't see any node "Windows Hooks" in
Emacs 28.1 or earlier.  Presumably that was
added later - 28.2 or 29?

However, does that node define/explain what
it _means_ for a _function_ to be "specified
buffer-locally"?  Is it just about functions
on hooks, and is it just that a "function
specified buffer-locally" _is_ (the use of)
a function on a buffer-local hook?

100% agreement that it's clear that _hooks_
(which are variables) can be buffer-local.

It sounds like maybe we're agreeing?
