Why not extend auto-coding-regexp-alist so it can associate a regexp to a function (rather than a coding-system) ? Or why not do what po.el does (i.e. use file-coding-system-alist) ? Admittedly, the file-coding-system-alist approach is pretty hairy/heavy-weight. In any case we should come up with some way to do those things conveniently, because it applies to po-mode, to sgml-mode to tex-mode and probably a lot more. Note that these are always associated with a mode, so it would be good if the implementation also was mode-specific so that it automatically works if you open an xml file called foo.myxmlextension (as long as "\\.myxmlextension\\'" is in the auto-mode-alist).
