A comment on Drool – A Lightweight Markup Language.

It's enshrined in the Drool format that every file has to start with a UTF-8 BOM and contain \r\n line breaks?

This sounds like favoring one text editor at the expense of all others, and not a good one. Is this format designed to be edited with Notepad?

It was at this point where I decided this was a joke. It's entirely possible I'm just missing the use case though.

No. Adding a utf8 bom is just my hobby.
