The BOM at the start of the file is invalid for UTF-8 documents. I
*think* it's required for UTF-16, but I may be wrong and I'm too tired
to look it up. If you're writing UTF-8 documents, you should not include
a BOM (and your editor shouldn't write one if it knows the encoding is
supposed to be UTF-8).
