Re: WML vs. XML

In a related question on WML:

From the spec it looks like if the document charset is not explicitly specified,
then the charset is assumed to be UTF-8 or UTF-16.  I have 2 questions in
relation to what is being used now and expected by processing software:

1.  Does this them imply that a BOM should be at the beginning of the
transmission, even in UTF-8?

2.  Does the assumption that untagged text data is in Unicode actually work?  In
other words, are folks actually tagging everything else?

Thanks,
Andrea
