A number of tokens are described as being a sequence of "zero or more" of
something. Here are a few examples:

--
A WebVTT cue settings list consist of a sequence of zero or more WebVTT cue
settings in any order, separated from each other by one or more U+0020 SPACE
characters
--
A WebVTT cue setting name and a WebVTT cue setting value each consist of any
sequence of zero or more characters other than U+000A LINE FEED (LF) characters
and U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN (CR) characters except that the entire resulting
string must not contain the substring "-->" (U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS, U+002D
HYPHEN-MINUS, U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN).
--

A zero-length string seems problematic, since each space character can be
considered to separate one such zero-length entity. Should these be
reconsidered to be "one or more..."?
