Yu,

Thanks for this.

I use file local variables all the time, both with and without org, and
have done so for years!  I also use BIND successfully.

My point was that org seems to ignore some variables that have been set
using file local variables and I think it's only those that affect the
export behaviour that are ignored.  Hence my gut feeling regarding
whether exporting doesn't actually set file local variables due to the
export working on a copy of the buffer.  But I am not entirely sure what
the interaction between the export process and Emacs may be in this
case.

Maybe others have a better intuition.

I'll try to come up with a minimal example that illustrates the problem.
