>From what I've experience (don't know if I can retrace it), the BOM charact=
ers were probably inserted before the XML prolog, when the XML file was ope=
ned in Notepad and then =0Asaved, it is probably due to difference in the e=
ncoding used between editors. =0A=0ASome literature on BOM:=0Ahttp://msdn.m=
