The spec says "Leading spaces are ignored. Trailing spaces and any trailing
garbage characters are ignored." This should be changed to "Leading spaces are
ignored. Trailing characters after any non-digit character outside the valid
range are ignored."

This means that "10abc1" will be treated as "10" not as "101", for example.
