It seems ArteTV ships some invalid WebVTT files often enough to be addressed. Mostly I've had blank lines inserted in a caption's body (which is not allowed by specification)

I think it would not be fair nor wise to modify the webvtt-py module to accept such invalid files. Instead I am thinking about preprocessing the vtt data before feeding it to the parser.

Instead I am thinking about _preprocessing_ the vtt data before feeding it to the parser.
