    It seems binary is preferred over utf-8 and utf-16-* in
    coding-category-list.  This seems extremely conservative.  I guess it
    means UTF-8 can never be autodetected by default?

That certainly seems undesirable.  Unless there is a specific reason
why it needs to be this way, I agree with you that we should raise
the priority of utf-8 and utf-16.
