That is not my experience.  I just tested it - in a text editor
(EmEditor) I made <foo></foo>, found a line of sample Arabic (from the
W3C Office Morocco site), pasted it between the start and end tags,
saved it (UTF-8, BOM).

XML Spy (not the latest one - I happened to have version 5 release 4
installed) opened this file without a problem, and displayed the arabic
correctly.

If I save it without a BOM it works just the same.
