IANA considerations says:

[[
Interoperability considerations:
Rules for processing both conforming and non-conforming content are  
defined in this specification.

Some legacy files violate the requirement to use UTF-8.
]]

I think the statement about UTF-8 is about SRT files. However, since  
WebVTT is intentionally incompatible, that legacy is not relevant to  
WebVTT interop, so it is probably good to drop that paragraph.
