That makes me wonder if I am misunderstanding something ... Are we not 
talking about global minor mode and how to turn them on or off both 
globally in all buffers and locally in just one buffer?

I meant that foo-mode should toggle the global minor mode in all buffers 
and foo-mode-locally should toggle it in just the current buffer. Should 
not that be possible?
