Subject: Unicode Byte Order Marks in ODF
Hi Dennis, I'm of the Co-Chair of the OASIS ODF Technical Committee. Some time ago we received a comment from you regarding byte order marks: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/200510/msg00032.html We are currently going back to the public comments we received to see which ones we may address in the ODF 1.2 release, which we are currently finishing. As for the byte order marks, the situation is that the XML 1.0 specification in section 4.3.3 already states that "Entities encoded in UTF-16 MUST and entities encoded in UTF-8 MAY begin with the Byte Order Mark " http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charencoding We therefore think that it is not required to state that again in the ODF specification.
