Ok, that sounds reasonable to me and I'm willing to implement it. If I
understand correctly, I have to add entries to `auto-mode-alist' and
change `doc-view-mode' so that it calls `doc-view' for the current
`buffer-file-name' plus a binding `C-c C-c' to toggle between the
rendered image presentation and the text representation. Is that
correct?
One problem I see: Should `doc-view' called with NO-CACHE set to t?
Personally I prefer calling (doc-view nil file) and adding a binding to
the mode to reconvert the document.

I'd second that.
