The following sentence is incorrect:

D doesn't require BOM and the presents of BOMs is application/system
defined (-> Unicode.org). More often than not the user simply used the
"save as text" feature. Especially on MSWindows most editors use some
installation dependent codepage instead of UTF if not ask explicitly to
store the text as Unicode.

The only situation were a BOM is required is documented here:
