 This is an enhancement request to support BOM correctly in MapGuide.

 Since Xml documents are also text documents, they are frequently prefixed
 with a Byte-order-marker, BOM.

 MapGuide reads xml documents using the MgXmlUtil::ParseString, which does
 not look for BOM. This is by design, as ParseString is not intended to
 parse documents.

 It is possible to upload an xml document with a BOM without any errors,
 but attempting to use the document will cause errors in MapGuide.

 This is particularly annoying if the document is uploaded as a
 ResourceHeader, as that will make enumeration of the document fail.

 The severity of this problem is low, because one can simply upload a
 correct document, and the error goes away.
