I'm not sure it's enough.  Imagine the following sequence of commands:

        C-x RET c latin-2 RET C-x C-f some-file RET
        M-! cat some-file | recode latin-2..utf-8 > some-file RET
        M-x revert-buffer RET

Here the user visited the file with Latin-2, then changed the file's 
encoding on disk into UTF-8, then reverted the buffer.  Should Emacs 
autodetect in this case or not?
