This is already documented in (info "(emacs) Specifying File Variables"):
If `mode' is used to set a major mode, it should be the first
"variable" in the list. Otherwise, the entries that precede it will
usually be ignored, since most modes kill all local variables as part
of their initialization.
It makes no sense to duplicate this information in the docstrings of
every variable that may be used in Local Variables.
