If we want it to be the default, it must be able to fallback on the current locale-based algorithm if no BOM is found. I don't think it would be easy for a codec to do that.
Right. It seems like encoding=None is the right way to go there. encoding='BOM' would probably only work if 'BOM' isn't an encoding but a special tag, which is ugly.
