Hello www-validator, I noticed this tip in validator results for XHTML: The Unicode Byte-Order Mark (BOM) in UTF-8 encoded files is known to cause problems for some text editors and older browsers. You may want to consider avoiding its use until it is better supported. I think this is outdated and over cautious; the XML specification clearly allows a BOM in UTF-8 content[1] and many editors use it to distinguish Unicode from legacy encodings. If anything it should be encouraged rather then discouraged. I suggest either rewording this tip, or removing it.
