It may also support an implementation-defined set of other kinds of physical source files, and, if so, the kind of a physical source file is determined in an implementation-defined manner, which includes a means of designating physical source files as UTF-8 source files, independent of their content. [Note: In other words, recognizing the U+FEFF Byte Order Mark is not sufficient. --end note]

Agreed.

For any other kind of physical source file supported by the implementation, characters are mapped, in an implementation-defined manner, to a sequence of translation character set elements (introducing new-line characters for end-of-line indicators).
