ISSUE-57: UTF-16 BOM is required

UTF-16 BOM is required

State:

CLOSED

Product:

polyglot

Raised by:

Description:

3. Character Encoding
http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-html-polyglot-20100624/#character-encoding

WG Approved: Yes


"When polyglot markup uses UTF-16, it should include the BOM indicating UTF-16LE or UTF-16BE."

The RFC use of the word 'should' is incorrect. The XML spec requires the BOM for UTF-16 documents. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charencoding
