This requires some thinking, I agree.

I think that's the current behavior, isn't it?  At any point, there
are just two tables, the global and the local one, and C-x a l adds
to the latter.  Also, the local table corresponds to what will be the
"most local" table in the future.

So being backwards-compatible is a safe bet for a first approximation,
and then we can still think about what's a good default.
