Comment (by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 if the hook is called "start_ob", I sincerely doubt plugins will be use it
 for anything else.

 on a different note, it may make a lot of sense for WP to actually start
 the output buffer itself, and to run it through later on with its own ob
 handler.

 e.g. something that goes like:

 {{{
 ob_start('wp_ob_handler');

 function wp_ob_handler{$buffer)
 {
   if ( /* preg_match the <body> area of html docs */ )
     $body = apply_filters('html_ob', $body);
     ...

   else
     $xml = apply_filters('xml_ob', $xml);
     ...

   return $buffer;
 }
 }}}
