Hi,
http://boost.org/libs/serialization/doc/contents.html shows three strange characters at the top of the page ().
Apparently, those characters have the values EF BB BF in hexadecimal notation. Interpreted as UTF-8 sequence, they encode the Unicode codepoint FFFE. This codepoint is used as a marker for the endianness in encodings other than UTF-8. I doubt such a marker would be legal in or would make sense for an UTF-8 encoded document. Also, the document's content-type meta-tag claims the document uses ISO-8859-1.
I suspect there's a problem in the toolchain used to create the document (oherwise, I would have fixed it in the repository).
FYI - the tool chain used is Windows Notepad editor with the file saved as utf-8 Robert Ramey
