The docstring of set-face-attribute says:
"As an exception, to reset the value of some attribute to `unspecified' in
a way that overrides the non-`unspecified' value defined by the face's
spec in `defface', for new frames, you must explicitly call this function
with FRAME set to t and the attribute's value set to `unspecified'; just
using FRAME of nil will not affect new frames in this case."
Not only is that sentence hard to parse, it also seems wrong.
Can someone come up with a scenario in which a call
(set-face-attribute 'some-face nil :some-attribute 'unspecified)
only affects existing frames? In my testing it affects all frames
(existing and future ones), and that's also what the code seems to do:
set-face-attribute sets where to 0 when frame is nil, and calls
internal-set-face-attribute
