Unfortunately, the editor has overlooked textarea and fieldset elements when
updating summary. It probably and hopefully is purely accidental, so I've
edited the summary to reflect these unaccounted elements.

Besides, just in case, I've added testcase URL that trims a string on server
side using PHP's standard trim() function and thus illustrates expected
trimming effect.

To be clear (just in case too), whitespace characters set includes at least
following ones:

— space (ASCII 32),
— tab (ASCII 9),
— new line (line feed) (ASCII 10),
— carriage return (ASCII 13).

In general, browsers could just use built-in standard JavaScript String method
named trim() to perform trimming of form-fields' values.

Thanks.
