   what would happen on big endian machines if they tried to compile a UTF-8   
   nodelist without a BOM in it? perhaps something is being missed in this   
   thinking and request to remove the BOM? granted, we're talking about UTF-8 and   
   not UTF-16 or UTF-32 where it might matter... after some bit of time, yeah, i   
   think i can agree with the request, too...
