There really isn't as much difference between using U+FEFF "as a byte
order mark" and using it "as a signature" as this makes it seem. The
definitions you quote have to do with whether U+FEFF is treated as a
BOM/signature or as a zero-width no-break space.

As a programmer, I can attest that we are no more receptive to being
called "duds" than any other professionals. Constructive suggestions
focused on the end product, instead of the competence of the person,
might get a response.
