BOMs are not needed for UTF-8, they are needed to distinguish between files that might be in any of UTF-8, UTF-16-le, UTF-16-be, UTF-32-le, UTF-32-be

I dont know how this meme that UTF-8 is some kind of panacea has spread on the internet. There should be a minimum competence test before anyone is allowed to blog on the subject of unicode.
