Is it OK to change the name of this var to `magic-default-mode-alist'?
I think `file-start' is a bad choice because it makes the relation to
magic-mode-alist non-obvious, and it incorrectly implies that only the start
of the file is used, even though the match-function might very well use the
end of the file (or any other part, as a matter of fact) instead.

I checked in the code for file-start-mode-alist.
Now those items in magic-mode-alist that should cede
priority to auto-mode-alist can be moved to file-start-mode-alist.
Would someone please move them there?

FWIW, I agree.

I am not really happen with `magic-default-mode-alist' because this
isn't really a matter of defaults. But I could agree to
`fallback-magic-mode-alist' or `magic-fallback-mode-alist'.
I invite someone to install that change.

I've renamed it to magic-fallback-mode-alist.

Thanks for this, I hope the problem with for example html/php will be
gone now.
Please also mention the new list in `set-auto-mode'.
