I have an idea for a change which won't require changing any public APIs; though it does change the behaviour so that BOM insertion doesn't happen any more, anyone who needs a BOM can have it by a simple update to their format string. The idea is outlined here: http://bugs.python.org/issue14452#msg158030 Comments would be appreciated.
