  Coding-system name for binary, no-conversion or internal were
confusing, because XEmacs and Emacs used different names for them.

                            |   Emacs     |XEmacs
----------------------------+-------------+-------------
don't convert anything      |no-conversion|binary
convert line break code only|internal     |no-conversion

  I asked this problem for HANDA Ken'ichi, then he and RMS discussed
about it.  They agreed to use following name:

                            |   Emacs
----------------------------+-------------
don't convert anything      |no-conversion
convert line break code only|emacs-mule

  So I think it is better to sync with.

  In addition, buffer-file-coding-system-alist should be changed to
coding-system-alist to support not only file but also process and
network.

  These changes should be finished in 20.3.
