The first three bytes are EF BB BF. This is why the markup on the first line is ignored. I have yet to figure out how to make any text editor rip off the BOM header, they all faithfully replace it.

This exposed some bugs in TortoiseHg (which I guess I'm thankful for), as it causes decoding errors when converting the text to ascii.
