  From a message in vim_dev:

=====
In :h filetype, Vim 7.2c says that "If no keywords are found, it
defaults to plaintex", which is the current behavior when g:tex_flavor
is not defined. Maybe the comment is outdated.
=====

So I wonder if something special should be added to the Vim-LaTeX
documentation to instruct users to change their tex_flavor if they want
empty .tex files to load Vim-LaTeX...
