I think there should be a new variable for "mode to auto-coding-function"
mapping to be able to define

    (latex-mode . latex-auto-coding-function).

And the fact that currently `auto-coding-functions' contains by default
`(sgml-xml-auto-coding-function sgml-html-meta-auto-coding-function)'
doesn't seem right.  They are called for every buffer, not just HTML
and XML.

Thanks to the new variable `magic-mode-alist' now it is possible
to set SGML and HTML major modes depending on buffer contents.
So these functions could be added to "mode to auto-coding-function"
mapping to make them mode-dependent:

    (xml-mode . sgml-xml-auto-coding-function)
    (html-mode . sgml-html-meta-auto-coding-function)

instead of adding them to the default of `auto-coding-functions'.
