BOM is a standard for UCS2 or UTF-16, not for UTF-8. BOM for utf-8 will cause problem for most programs which expect text streams. gcc is a good example, most GNU CLI utilities will reject utf-8 with BOM. And, W3C validator will of course complain about it... -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
