"Should" is appropriate for cases where we can say that it's the right thing to
do in the large majority of cases, but there may be significant legitimate
exceptions.  Whether BOMs are better or worse than <meta> is a matter of
opinion, not something we have any reason to take sides on.  Arguably they're
worse in most cases, because they're harder for authors to deal with and debug.
