The difference is that WebVTT clearly defines the accepted syntax, while
SubRip does not.

That is what we discussed a few hours ago: some file have them. And that is
precisely why I think "TAGSOUP" is more descriptive than SUBRIP: this is an
unholy mix of various standards in the hope that bogus players will display
them as expected.

That is exactly what the '?' in the pseudo-regexp stands for.

Probably not, but now it is specified.

Note that I expect the decoded text (as opposed to the demuxed text) to have
just LF newlines and no heading/trailing spaces.
