A minor note for clarity.

I would better understand the goal of this paper if there were an early sentence indicating
whether the target audience of the advice is:
   1) document authors
   2) document processing tools
   3) both equally

The advice seems geared strongly towards group (2), but we probably want to send a
message to group (1) as well.

Attached is a draft proposal for the Unicode standard that intends to clarify the current recommendation regarding use of a BOM in UTF-8 text.  This is follow up to discussion on the Unicode mailing list back in June.

Feedback is welcome.  I plan to submit this to the UTC in a week or so pending review feedback.
