If by using Tagsoup you mean I am including it in the VM args then yes:
D:\Downloads\Java-OpenJDK\IcedTea-Web\icedtea-web-1.7.1.win.bin\icedtea-web-1.7.1-image/win-deps-runtime/tagsoup.jar;

I don't really know what that library does, just that I need to include it.

Should this be included as a bug or fix to ITW? Changing to '\uFEFF' allows
it to compile with Eclipse/Windows, I assume it will work with other configs
as well. If you tell me how to submit this appropriately I will.
