One reason why it is important that encoding overriding is difficult, can be
seen here: http://railsnowman.info
and here: http://intertwingly.net/blog/2010/07/29/Rails-and-Snowmen

Supposedly, since the BOM means that IE does not allow the encoding to be
overridden, authors therefore would not need to use the  snowman-hack in their
Web forms.

So the use of the BOM -in my book- is a perfect example of the "HTML with
helmets" that Sam once portrayed Polyglot Markup as.
