It hasn't been explicitly stated, but I assume that the only cases where

That's not what at least Aryeh is proposing, no. Also not what at
least some of the browsers implement.
Oops, I was talking about top-level contexts here. In a <video> context,
always ignoring the Content-Type and always sniffing is the most sane
solution (apart from always respecting Content-Type).
Yes, the suggestion Aryeh is making is that toplevel contexts should use
the same sniffing algorithm as the <video> context and should sniff
everything for video, completely ignoring the Content-Type header.
