           Summary: Spec should be more careful about UTF-16, UTF-16BE and
                    UTF-16LE

The BOM sniffing tables say the encoding is UTF-16BE or LE. Those are by
definition BOMless, so the spec should say big-endian UTF-16 and little-endian
UTF-16.

In various places, the are checks if the encoding of something is UTF-16. Those
checks should probably also check for UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE.
