Originally read "BOM (Bill of Materials)" and thought it was a misattribution of the more common "Byte Order Marker" acronym common to file format headers, but websurfing reveals it's correct -- referring to this format's origin in Installers, haha.
> The bill of materials file appeared in NeXTSTEP to support installation. The file format was updated and extended for Mac OS X 10.0. The format was extended to support 64 bit file sizes with OS X 10.3.
