I forgot the ?, added it in hrev48019.
The rule is a bit tricky but it works:
\\000 is unescaped once by the rdef parser to \000. It is then escaped
a second time by the MIME sniffing rule parser to a null character.
The first character has no suffix, and the last one has no suffix. This
allows the rule to match UTF16 no matter which endianness is used (both
"<\0?\0x\0m\0l\0" (big endian) and "\0<\0?\0x\0m\0l" (little endian) are
recognized). It also uses the [0:15] to skip the byte order mark, if any.
Note the xhtml rule already uses a similar format, and works fine. I
don't think there currently is a more readable way to express this.
