[whatwg] Trailing garbage, numbers and conformance

Common microsyntaxes for numbers allow leading whitespace and allow  
trailing garbage. I understand why the algorithms for UAs other than  
conformance checkers might be defined not to fail when there is  
trailing garbage. However, to help authors catch typos, I think only  
trailing whitespace should be conforming not just any trailing garbage.
