It works for me.  However, I found that I have to add `mode: allout'
to the Local Variables section in order for the fontification to be
seen upon visiting the file.  If allout-mode isn't specified as a file
local variable, then calling font-lock-fontify-buffer makes the
fontification show up.  I don't know if this indicates a bug in that
code.
