How do I remove this BOM marker once it's inserted? Damn it, it causes all my 
XSL transformations on Java to fail!

This is another Microsoft "invention" - BOM marker used to recognize UTF-8  
files.
ByteOrderMarker makes no sense in UTF-8.
Notepad and other MS-tools silently insert it in all UTF-8 files, making  
them invalid.

This breaks HTML validation, causes trash in some browsers and breaks PHP4  
buffering...

Use Notepad2 for unicode - http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html
