No. My ability to programme in Lisp is almost not existing. I can
look into files.el, which sets auto-mode-alist at some time, probably
I would not find an improvement.
Can it be that conf-mode comes too early into play? Wouldn't it make
more sense to first check the type of a file, and when it is
something not binary and not XML (i.e. something fundamental) then
the file's name and extension are checked? I found the bug with /etc/
fonts/fonts.conf, in case someone needs an object to work on.
Maybe adding
("<\\?xml" . xml-mode)
to magic-mode-alist, also in files.el, can correct this. By default
it's empty ... How are PS, PDF, ... XML determined? Ah, I see now:
magic-fallback-mode-alist. And it comes one step too late!

Sorry my terrible English, my native language Lisp!
