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

A pass sounds good to me.

Subject: 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!
