The `keymap' property is used for overriding just *part* of the local
map. For most uses, `keymap' is better. I am not sure if there is
still any good reason to use `local-map'.
I rewrote the text in the manual as follows:
@item keymap
@cindex keymap of character
@kindex keymap @r{(text property)}
The @code{keymap} property specifies an additional keymap for
commands. The property's value for the character after point, if
address@hidden, is used for key lookup before the buffer's local map.
(For mouse clicks, the @code{keymap} property of the character clicked
on is the one used.) If the property value is a symbol, the symbol's
function definition is used as the keymap. @xref{Active Keymaps}.
@item local-map
@kindex local-map @r{(text property)}
This property specifies a keymap to use @emph{instead of} the buffer's
local map. If the property value is a symbol, the symbol's function
definition is used as the keymap. For most purposes (perhaps all
purposes), the @code{keymap} is superior.
