That's exactly the problem[1]. XMLSpy, oXygen and Notepad don't neeed the
BOMs and leave them as they are. PSPad either adds them to every file or
deletes them...

I don't know how often I went through the docs and added the BOMs
manually...
Please add them. Or delete them. Or tell me a freeware editor that handles
UTF-8 with or without BOMs correctly, which leads us back to [1].

Currently I'm inclined to adding the BOMs to every file when they are
missing. Could your console app also make sure that every XML file starts
with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> instead of just <?xml
version="1.0"?>?
