If have a text frame with multiple strings, stored as a null separated 
list, where null is represented by the termination code for the 
character encoding how do you encode type 01   (UTF-16 [UTF-16] encoded 
Unicode [UNICODE] with BOM)  Do you write BOM for each string or just at 
the start of the total string

i.e

Say just have the single char string twice (0xDE 0x03)

Should BOM be written for both strings

0xFF 0xFE 0xDE 0x03 0x00 0x00  0xFF 0xFE 0xDE 0x03

or just at the start of the total string

0xFF 0xFE 0xDE 0x03 0x00 0x00  0xDE 0x03

(null separator should be written for all fields except  last one)
