The question is how often users might want to switch xml-mode back to
sgml-mode and how easy this should be. Putting a line
(defalias 'xml-mode 'sgml-mode)
to .emacs is easy but only if this line is easy to find in documentation.
One easy way is the Customization UI, another is adding menu entries to
the mode menu. Designing a general mechanism to select a mode amongst
multiple implementations would be even better e.g. to switch `perl-mode'
between `perl-mode' and `cperl-mode', `js-mode' between `js2-mode' and
`espresso-mode', etc.
