The buffer-local variable is set by the function
`LaTeX-enumitem-update-key-val-options' which relies on
`LaTeX-enumitem-SetEnumitem(Key|Value)-list' controlled by AUCTeX
auto-parser.  My presumption was that it should work this way.

A 2 files test-case is attached below and it seems to me that it works.

One thing occured to me though: When I close the files and re-open
`master.tex', I get with C-h v:

LaTeX-enumitem-SetEnumitemValue-list is a variable defined in `enumitem.el'.
Its value is ((("label" "numeric")) nil)
Local in buffer master.tex; global value is nil

AUCTeX runs the style hook for `masterone.tex', but ignores the following
from `masterone.el':

(TeX-add-style-hook
 "masterone"
 (lambda ()
   (LaTeX-add-enumitem-SetEnumitemValues
    '("leftmargin" "standard"))))

I have to hit C-c C-n in `master.tex' to get that variable updated
document-wide. My expection that AUCTeX would DTRT right away.

Best, Arash
