Please give me some credit: I said ``the _default_value_ of
buffer-file-coding-system''. That default tells volumes about the
coding-system priorities.
> And IIUC utf-8 should always have a pretty high priority
With today's CVS on a Windows XP machine I get this:
M-: (coding-system-priority-list) RET
=> (iso-latin-1 utf-8 iso-2022-7bit iso-2022-7bit-lock iso-2022-8bit-ss2 emacs-mule raw-text iso-2022-jp in-is13194-devanagari chinese-iso-8bit utf-8-auto utf-8-with-signature utf-16 utf-16be-with-signature utf-16le-with-signature utf-16be utf-16le japanese-shift-jis undecided)
So UTF-8 is indeed ``pretty high'', but lower than the locale's
default.

Perhaps it is, but I didn't know Emacs 23 can reliably distinguish
between Latin-1 and UTF-8, even when UTF-8 sequences are present in
the text. Can we do that reliably? Perhaps Handa-san can shed some
light on this.
