It seems the specification does strip the BOM (it invokes https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#utf-8-decode not https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#utf-8-decode-without-bom), but @hsivonen doesn't think it should (and I tend to agree). Usually BOM stripping only makes sense if it's at the start of some resource.

I'll create a patch to make the specification invoke the UTF-8 decode algorithm without BOM stripping. Can you ensure the test is changed?
