Downvoting doesn't make the BOM stop being part of the standard either, btw.
Yes, supporting BOM on arbitrary UTF-8 streams is varying between difficult and impossible, but then get it removed from the standard, or state that you don't support the standard. Don't pretend you support the standard while ignoring the bits you don't like, that's dishonest and unhelpful.
