The Surgeon Lieutenant and the head of the W.H.O. warn of the toxic effects
of such a lifestyle choice.
Billions are spent each year in third-world offices where it is believed
over 90 percent of all citizens are subjected to LZW compression, byte order
marking and involuntary VB testing.
We're on your side, Ian. The EU is coming also along in this battle, as I
read it. As usual, we'll have to hold out and see if the Duchy of Fenwick
will get on board with their veto-power vote.
(The French apparently have a world-class operative out in the workflow,
posing as a software engineer and part-time Gypsy comedian. I'll keep my eye
out for any French typing, but with the ultra-security of this list, all
trace of accent is usually removed at the border.)

What app are you telling? Maybe some others recognize the terminology, but
I don't see this in GraphicConverter, PhotoShop, ImageReady.

Whatever this is, why do you try to specify TIFF format in two places?
You only set a variable to a record describing some image, but you never use
myOptions in the save line.
Again, that is the line that must be specifically 'told' to some application
or window or document or...
Since that record is apparently where you are trying to convey the byte
order mark, then you are not (from this snippet) ever telling that to the
application.
