Trimming just _makes sense_ mainly as for validation.

Anyway, it should be at least clearly described in the HTML5 spec that trimming
should be applied _before_ validating according to 'required' attribute.

Otherwise we could face with wrong implementations where validation says "OK"
(field is not empty though contains whitespace-only characters) and _then_
trimming is applied, and [now] empty string is sent to server. This absurd
situation should be ruled out by clear definition of trimming in the spec.

Thanks.
