Yes, of course I can explicitly write the BOM. I did realize that after my first post ( my-'duh' :-[ ). But after playing some more, I do think this issue has become a worthwhile one. My second post msg56780 asks that utf_8 be tolerant of the 3-byte sig BOM, and uf_16_[be]e be tolerant of their BOMs, which I argue is consistent with "be liberal on what you accept". A second half of that message suggests that it might be worth considering something like a write_bom parameter with utf_16 defaulting to True, and utf_16_[bl]e defaulting to False. My third post (m56782) may actually represent a bug. I have a unittest for this and would be glad to provide (although I need to reduuce a larger test to a simple case). I will look at this again, and re-pester you as required.
