Also, the conditions and the stuff following might possibly be  
removed. Something like:
  {BOM_UTF8} {}
or
  {BOM_UTF8}+ {}

If a language always zips out spaces, one can have rules:
  [ \f\r\t\v]+ {}
  \n+          { \* Maybe action here counting lines */ }
Then the BOM should just be treated as the other spaces and tabs.
