there's a slightly annoying bug in Acme regarding the per-window `dirty bit'.

expected behavior:
cut + paste leaves the window in `clean' state

current behavior if a file is opened:
cut + paste of file content leaves the window in `clean' state (correct 
behavior)
cut + paste of file pathname in tag leaves the window in `dirty' state 
(unexpected behavior)

For example, if the first thing in the file is:
   <?kzy irefvba="1.0" rapbqvat="ebg13"?>
an XML parser will recognize that the document is stored in the traditional 
ROT13 encoding.

workaround: use the Snarf command.
