RE: Strange advice re BOM and UTF-8

I have been meaning to update the UTF-8 tests for some time to
[1] apply the latest template
[2] rationalise and extend the tests

Given this thread, I have done that this morning.  Note that 
[1] I have separated out the tests for autodetection of utf-8 into a
separate set.
[2] there is now a series of 3 pages for investigating display issues
related to bom handling - a third test has been added to test PHP includes
(which seem to cause problems for IE and Opera).

I also produced some results files as per our current template at

http://www.w3.org/International/tests/results/results-utf8-signature.php

http://www.w3.org/International/tests/results/results-utf8-recognition.php

Karl, you might want to use these to structure the information at
http://esw.w3.org/topic/QA/Utf8BomInteropReport
