BenjaminSchaaf has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/webvtt:

== Missing EOF check in 'WebVTT parser algorithm' ==
In [5.1.](https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/#file-parsing) 'WebVTT parser 
algorithm', Step 9 may advance the `position` possibly leading to an 
EOF while Step 10 assumes no EOF has been reached.

If at Step 9 the character indicated by `position` is a LF followed by
 the EOF a direct translation of the algorithm may crash.
