UTF-8 does not feature a Byte Order Mark, only UTF-16 does.

An xml file must either start with an BOM, than it is UTF-16, or <?
than it's what ever encoding is defines. Note that all characters in
the xml decleration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>

must be ASCII 7bit (what AFAIK is the same for all Unicode encodings).

BTW: The original author already noted, that the error is 1477 bytes 
     into the docukent. So this  mail is just to fight the FUD.
