Right; all the Emacs and XEmacs users I personally know have enabled
font-lock globally.

Hm, I don't personally see, say, an *Occur* buffer as text/plain. But
regardless, in the new implementation it's easy to disable
fontification; just
(add-hook 'occur-mode-hook 'font-lock-mode)
Or
(add-hook 'occur-mode-hook (lambda () (font-lock-mode 0))

Using font-lock for all modes where possible makes things easier for
both groups of people. Previously, you would have to hunt down a
`foo-mode-face' variable, or a `foo-mode-enable-fontification', etc.
