OK, I did that as well, and pushed the changes to master.

It's the same problem; merged the bugs.

The function relevant for the recipe in bug#8282 is
sgml-xml-auto-coding-function, which is where I made the changes.  If
the HTML and/or SGML specs also mandate that we use BOM, then maybe we
need the same changes in sgml-html-meta-auto-coding-function as well.
Note that there's no equivalent for xml-find-file-coding-system for
non-XML files, so recognition of visited UTF-16 HTML files will not
work even if they do have a BOM.

> There is also nxml-set-auto-coding which seems to be mostly unused.

It is supposed to be used by packages that build on top of nXml,
AFAIU.

Thanks.
