Comment(by varsity):

 Assuming you know what a BOM is. I wouldn't argue with "it's too obscure
 and harmless", but "users should know better" doesn't cut the mustard.
 Unlike writing a plugin, switching a theme file to UTF8 so you can use
 non-ASCII characters is not an overtly technical operation.
