You don't mess with the file format if you add local variables – you  
just make it clear to GNU Emacs what is obvious for you!

I, for example, make clear that the diary file is in UTF-8:

        ;; Local variables:
        ;; coding: utf-8
        ;; End:

and you can add

        ;; mode: diary
