What are you talking about?
I once saw a Web page which was not behaving correctly. Turned out
the HTML file had been created on Windows, and every other character
was an ASCII nul. There were also two stray 8-bit characters at the
top, but they were not a BOM since they were at code points 216 and
223. Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe it was originally a BOM
and got misconverted between Windows and Macintosh. All I knew was,
<[NUL]H[NUL]T[NUL]M[NUL]L[NUL]> was not a valid HTML tag.
