BOM or no BOM?

Pick one - but it's pretty unusual to use BOM any more.

Unix or Windows style line breaks?

Pick one and filter the other.

Line breaks meaning paragraph separations or line breaks meaning, well, whatever it is that PG means by line breaks?

Would we change what we're doing now?

“uft-8” meaning that “we” use the interpretation of the code points as defined by Unicode, or meaning “we” invent our own meanings for those code points?

Would you seriously consider defining your own?
