[webvtt] Wrong BOM characters mentioned in spec

== Wrong BOM characters mentioned in spec ==
Hi,

Section 4.1 of the WebVTT spec says:
"An optional U+FEFF BYTE ORDER MARK (BOM) character."
This is a UTF-16 BOM, while a few lines above the spec says:
"A WebVTT file must consist of a WebVTT file body encoded as UTF-8"
At the end of the spec, under 'magic number(s)' the BOM EF BB BF is 
used, so I believe the first occurrence is just wrong.

Thanks

Eran
