Experience with HTML, SVG and MathML indicates that when trimming is  
specified, implementors don't always do it. My conclusion is that it's  
better to specify that keyword attribute values are compared without  
trimming. (Unless, of course, the attribute in question takes a  
whitespace-separated list of tokens.)
