There's never been anything preventing a file from containing and beginning with U+FFFE. It's just not a very useful thing to do, hence not very likely.

Or is U+FFFE actually allowed to start such a file? Is an implementation that deduces the encoding scheme of a plain text file from a leading BOM to be characterised as reckless?
