RE: Corner cases (was: Re: UTF-16 Encoding Scheme and U+FFFE)

Sorry, I left out an important detail.

I meant U+FEFF as a zero-width no-break space. Obviously it is very
common to see U+FEFF as a signature or BOM.

My underlying question here is, how common is it that the producer of a
stream actually intends this character *at the start of a stream* to be
a ZWNBSP, not to be stripped lest the actual text content be altered?
