Comment (by cornedbee):

 True. The code is just to skip a BOM and continue as if it wasn't there.
 The data still has to be in the expected format.

 This is the right thing to do. The XML parser should not concern itself
 with encodings. It's the responsibility of the code convert facet of the
 input stream to bring the data into the right format. The code here is
 just to skip the BOM.
