To the extent that Emacs has seen the BOM when opening the file, it
would make sense for Emacs to try and preserve this detail. IOW the
utf-8 annotation in the XML metadata shouldn't mean "use the utf-8
coding system" but "use a coding system compatible with utf-8". So if
the coding system is already compatible with utf-8
(e.g. utf-8-with-signature), we should simply keep using that rather
than switch to the utf-8 coding-system.
