Apparently, expat does eat utf-8 BOMs in DTDs fine, so let's add that to the DTDParser. py only.
Filing a bug as there is some naughtiness to be documented:
The UTF-8 BOM '\xef\xbb\xbf' is parsed by the codecs.open line, and is converted to u'\ufeff'. The endianess of the platform doesn't pose an issue here, as I verified by testing on a Windows XP PC and a Mac PPC. I.e., codecs.BOM differs with '\xff\xfe' and '\xfe\xff', resp., but the unicode char is the same.
I'll attach a patch for reference.
