safe-local-variable stuff

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

When I save a *compilation* buffer and I later visit that file, the  
GNU Emacsen from CVS (22.0.*, 23.0.0) complain about the default- 
directory variable used. Is there some reason why this variable is  
treated as unsafe? Why are the *compilation* buffers settings this  
unsafe variable at all? Or did I miss some customisation?

One AUCTeX variable is treated as unsafe, too: TeX-command-default.  
Are there reasons for doing this? The command to become executed has  
to be registered before as a command for the AUCTeX Commands menu. So  
it should be safe. Or am I wrong?
