[putting on XML Core Working Group hat]
This is an XML->SXML issue. For a long time it wasn't too clear whether
UTF-8-encoded XML documents were allowed to contain a BOM or not.
(UTF-16-encoded documents are required to do so.) As a result of an
erratum, the XML Recommendation now requires that UTF-8 BOMs be accepted
and ignored.
