And at this point it becomes more and more tempting to have our

A midway compromise solution would be to detect if either file

files difer".

Umm.. Why not just say "if the line after the 'diff' line doesn't start 
with '@@ ', then it's a binary diff"?

And not care at _all_ about what it says.

We require unified diffs, and they _always_ start with '@@ ' after the 
header. No need to check anything else.
