That doesn't stop many applications from doing it.  Python should
perhaps<wink,nudge> not produce UTF-8 + BOM without a disclaimer of
indemnification against all resulting damage, signed in blood, from
the user for each instance.

But it should do something sane when reading such files.  I can't
really see any harm in throwing it away, especially since use of
ZERO-WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE as a joining character has been deprecated
IIRC.
