--- Comment #8 from David Cook <[email protected]> ---
Interesting discussion for sure. 

I think the change will probably help more people than it will hinder, but I
was thinking similar thoughts about the BOM causing an unexpected change to
anyone parsing the CSV via alternative means. A fairly small change but a
change nonetheless.

Regarding the DataTables, that Excel export is done by the DataTables
Javascript library. I don't think that we have a Perl library for XLSX exports.
Although, as you indicate, Michal, maybe we don't need a library. That's
interesting.

Overall, I think it's more important to be consistent than to be right. (Common
saying in libraries!) But yeah maybe a syspref or some other switch to turn the
BOM on/off...

I think that should probably be a follow-up bug though, as this bug report is
just expanding the status quo.
