Are there many text editors that do not use the BOM for UTF-16? I am just asking. In this I-D, the BOM is a part of the text body rather than an artifact for encoding. If this I-D becomes an RFC, XML is allowed to say that the BOM is mandatory, in my opinion. In fact, the BOM is already mandatory in XML 1.0. Since XML is pervasive, the BOM is likely to become almost compulsory. Cheers, Makoto Fuji Xerox Information Systems Tel: +81-44-812-7230 Fax: +81-44-812-7231 E-mail: murata@apsdc.ksp.fujixerox.co.jp
