Excellent!

Would there be any chance that you could look at one more related issue 
affecting the HTML parser? Currently if a HTML file begins with a UTF-8 
BOM, the HTML parser does not recognise it and parses it as three Latin1 
characters, which results in garbage at the beginning of the file and an 
incorrect encoding for the rest of the file.

Would it be possible to skip over these three bytes, and ideally set the 
encoding to UTF-8 if they are present?

Best regards,

Michael
