Folks, I'm returning an XML element fragment in the body of a REST style response, and in Fiddler I noticed it looks like this:
EFBBBF <result>....</result> So the utf-8 BOM is going out, but I'm not sure if this is desirable, standard or expected. This service is to be consumed by non .NET clients, so I have to play nice for everyone. Are there official rules or other conventions to follow regarding this? *Greg K*
