The info file documents it the same way it documents everything else: any attribute associated with an environment has this association explicitly stated; attributes without this explicit statement are global. (The latter point is perhaps not stated outright in the info file, though.) The "Environments" section does say that "hyphenation parameters" are part of an environment, without enumerating those parameters. So there's perhaps room to claim some ambiguity here. But I think enumerating every environment-specific parameter in this section would not be doing the reader any favors. A blanket statement of "anything not documented to be part of an environment is global" would better serve.
