Two related questions, the second dependent on the answer to the first.
1. Is XeTeX happy with a BOM in UTF-8 files
2. Could TeXworks be enhanced to (a) recognise, and (b) insert if absent, a
BOM in UTF-8 files ?
The reason for my request is that while, on a day-to-day basis, I work solely
more readable than a BOM you can use an encoding comment as far as I can
see for your use case
eg as listed here
