   Yes, it is discouraged, but it is the only reliable way to detect file 
encoding 
automatically.
   Unfortunately, most of text editors (including Notepad) by default save 
files in ANSI 
encoding. Forcing configs to be UTF-8 only will cause problems to 
not-much-clever users 
and a lot of work for support.
   Requirement to save configs in UTF-8 with BOM is not too hard to fulfill for 
advanced 
users if properly documented.
