Then I'd suggest a function 'View-fontify-buffer-according-to' and make
it available in the view-mode-map.  

This function should ask for a major mode for fontification, apply the
fontification and enable the view-mode afterwards.

This would make it handy to view files which do not match a regular
expression in auto-mode-alist.
