   I am he, but Stefan has it right anyway. It was just a cosmetic

   one read the docstring for a mode defined with define-derived-mode it
   referenced a hook that did not seem to be defined.

I do not know wether the fact that a hook is unbound caused problems
back in July 2003, but it certainly causes no problems in today's CVS.
Many hooks are unbound until add-hook gets called for them.
