I suppose at least the xml and sgml tests are little bit too
aggressive.
No doubt crazy people who use those formats use equally crazy
filenames, so a test on content is good, but you kind of want them
after the filename tests, so .html means html. Or for example if
there was a specific scrollkeeper .omf mode then hit that before the
generic xml.
Maybe if magic-mode-alist were combined into auto-mode-alist it'd be
easier to control conflicts or precedence among content vs filename
tests. (Not that you want to get too fancy about such things ...)
