Spacetime locality of the antifield formalism : a "mise au point"

Some general techniques and theorems on the spacetime locality of the antifield formalism are illustrated in the familiar cases of the free scalar field, electromagnetism and Yang-Mills theory. The analysis explicitly shows that recent criticisms of the usual approach to dealing with locality are ill-founded.
