Does tar-mode really belong to the list of those modes?  Unlike
archive-mode, where each file is separately compressed into binary
garbage, tar-mode shows the original files, and the only "binary"
parts are the headers, most of which are also plain text.  So I'd
suggest to remove tar-mode for the default list of modes.
