A few files in ExpectedTestResults start out with "Byte Order Mark" U+FEFF.
For example: 
ExpectedTestResults/Expressions/FLWORExpr/ForExprType/ForExprType056.xml
I'm no Unicode expert, but this seems wrong.  Byte Order Mark only makes sense
in UTF-16 to distinguish big-endian from little-endian.  It does not belong in
UTF-8, which these files are.

Of course it's easy to just ignore the initial Byte Order mark, but I wanted to
at least put this bug report on the record.
