You gave the example of Notepad++ which already does
this. (Well, it's Windows software, so doesn't directly use CCSID, but
the point is it doesn't need the BOM to detect UTF-8.)

Is that really true?

From what I see in the settings, you can configure it to simply default

ANSI to UTF-8 on opening...

I don't see how it could possibly tell the difference; assuming the
document only contains US-ASCII text.

Scott seems to indicate that most only programs simple work the other way,
assuming UTF-8 w/o BOM is ANSI.
