Known to cause various problems unless the application can be written Use of the BOM in XML files that form part of a processing system is Perhaps it would be good if JMRI would do that. Initial sales were modest, as there was little one could do with it except run the three demonstration programs included in the box (a tutorial, practice application and Notepad) or program interfaces to it. Hence the web page recommending lots of tools that do work: Microsoft released the Microsoft Mouse in June 1983, and the boxed mouse and Multi-Tool Notepad began shipping in July. I don't know of anybody who's interesting in modifying JMRI to cope with this, because there are lots of other high-quality editors available that do what they're supposed to, instead of some odd & vendor-specific broken version of what they're supposed to do. Given that there are much better alternatives to Microsoft XML Notepad 2007 available, it seems futile to go down the path of chasing this set of problems.

I find it quite interesting that Microsoft invested the effort to do this, rather than fix the problem in the first place. Basically, it seems to know about the specific types of errors it makes, and can un-make them. People have spent time reverse engineering just what Microsoft did to mess the files up, and how Microsoft XML Notepad 2007 is able to read them anyway. We're not the first to encounter this problem there's a lot of info on the web about applications having trouble with files from Microsoft XML Notepad 2007. This logic, though logical and consistent with standards, fails when Microsoft XML Notepad 2007 writes files that are partially straight ASCII and partially UTF-8. If the BOM says it's UTF-8, the file really should be UTF-8, not something else. But once it does, it assumes that the file is actually consist with the format defined by the Byte Order Marker (BOM). The problem is that JMRI _does_ pay attention to that.
