Can you use the #+BIND: keyword to set arbitrary variables and

If I understand it correctly, #+BIND only works for export related
variables.


Nope, it works for any variables.  It is special that is *also* works
for export variables, which is complicated because the *output buffer*
is current when export happens, so local variables would be out of
scope.

Thanks for the explanation. I aplogize if I'm missing something, but I
can't seem to get the bind line to work. I've placed the following line
at the top of an org file:

,----
| #+BIND: org-footnote-section "References"
`----

...and yet after killing, reloading, and refreshing the buffer, the
footnotes still appear in the section in which they are entered, in
keeping with my global org-footnote-section setting (nil).

Out of curiosity, I've also tried the following line to no avail:

,----
| #+BIND: org-footnote-section t
`----

I've tried setting org-export-allow-BIND and org-export-allow-BIND- local
to t, but the same results occur.

On the other hand, when I use local variables, as below, the footnotes
appear under the headline "References".

,----
| * COMMENT Local Variables
| # Local Variables:
| # org-footnote-section: "References"
| # End:
`----

Do I have the correct syntax for #+bind? Is there another variable that
activates "bind" syntax? Or does it perhaps work only for certain
variables?

You are right, I was mistaken! In fact, BIND works for any variables, but only during export :-)
