On a side note, i feel that this is more a bug of quick look.

The unix file command correctly identifies the files as UTF8.

For a reason for not setting this attribute,

it not portable.
if i mail a UTF8 file to some one this attribute would be stripped.
i believe it is not supported on FAT32/NTFS partitions

quicklook is broken....  if it sees a UTF8 file it should behave  
correctly, as the BOM characters are optional.
