Yes, I agree. In fact, I am not sure that 'automatic detection' (of anything) is always a blessing. I can't be the only person to have had a server serve something which looks a bit like html under the text/plain MIME type, hoping to have it rendered and not interpreted, only to have the browser second-guess me. I don't know enough to know, but I wouldn't be surprised to find cases where the author really wants something interpreted as script A, but a script detection algorithm would guess B.
