Re: SSAX, utf8 and the byte order mark

Please see the following messages:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=30544193&forum_id=599
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=30544375&forum_id=599

The last two describe various work-arounds. I believe the BOM-marks
issues belong on the level of `streams' rather than on the level of
XML parsing. Once we open a port (a stream) in the UTF-8 mode, the
open function should have already checked for spurious BOM marks. Or,
the stream read function can silently disregard the marks as they
should not be there in the first place.
