I didn't think the XML standard allowed for utf-8 files to have a BOM.
The standard is quite clear about requiring 0xFEFF for utf-16.
I would have thought a proper parser would reject a non-utf-16 file
beginning with something other than "<".
(The fact that notepad puts it there should be irrelevant.)
Am I wrong about XML and the utf-8 signature?
