Should one trailing space in a name calculation pass or fail?

Hey all.

In updating the test results for AccName, I noticed that Chrome/Chromium
has several tests which are failing due to a single trailing whitespace
at the end of the calculated name. I'm wondering if this should be
treated as a failure or a pass.

I'm leaning towards a pass because the hard work (calculation) was done
successfully, spoken presentation would be the same, and braille will at
most have one extra space character. What are you leaning toward?

I'm hoping to get consensus soonish so that ATTAs can be updated and new
results generated. And, if need be, I can debug the problem and submit a
patch to Google.

Thanks for your input!
