That does not seem like a useful way of reading the finding. That is the same kind of reading that makes people suggest you can ignore most requirements in the XML specification. > In fact, there are no current W3C or IETF specifications that "work against" the "Web architecture" in this way. http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#determining-the-character-encoding treats BOM as more authoritative than HTTP Content-Type if you want to get technical about this. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
