Bug#661551: Please ignore Unicode BOM at start of file

Package: libxml-feedpp-perl
Version: 0.43-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/perl5/XML/FeedPP.pm

When trying to parse the feed at
http://www.americastestkitchen.com/radio/rss/iTunesRSSFeed.xml
FeedPP gives error:

Invalid string: [\xFEFF] before <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> at /usr/share/perl5/XML/FeedPP.pm line 553

The XML standard allows a byte order mark, so this shouldn't be rejected
by FeedPP.

(Maybe this bug really belongs to libxml-treepp-perl, I'm not sure, but
both modules have the same author, so...)
