doc bug, mode-line-inverse-video?

[Drew Adams]

>From the Elisp Info manual, node Standard Faces:

`mode-line'
     This face is used for the mode line of the selected window, and for
     menu bars when toolkit menus are not used--but only if
     `mode-line-inverse-video' is non-`nil'.

`C-h v mode-line-inverse-video':

    This variable is obsolete since 21.1;
    use the appropriate faces instead.

    nil means display the mode-line/header-line/menu-bar in the
    default face. Any other value means to use the appropriate
    face, `mode-line', `header-line', or `menu' respectively.

>From the sound of it, the current behavior of the `mode-line' face depends
on an obsolete variable.
