As you can see in this screenshot, there is no visible "prolog" in the file, but, since it was saved with an external editor using "UTF-8 with Signature" also known as "UTF-8Y" it causes problems, and there is no easy way to know what is going on, or to fix it.

> If, for example, components.xml is edited with another XML that saves it with encoding UTF-8Y then the visual editor produces an error (I like that) but it does not help to fix it (It took me a lot of hours to find out what was going on). It should offer to remove the UTF-8Y BOM.
