The trailing position in an IRI could be a piece of valid data: http://example.com/myCharPicker?char= Outside its role as an announcer---at the start of a text file---BOM is not that useful [it's job of "zero width non-breaking space" is better done by the WORD JOINER character], but it is still a valid code point that might be exchanged. There is no reason to require its removal. Cf. http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#bom6 Addison
