A BOM is most authoritative indication of encoding, because there are few ways to get it wrong. It's much easier to get an encoding declaration or an HTTP header wrong.

There are some synthetic examples of strings in other encodings that can be mistaken for a BOM, but it hasn't been a practical issue.
