[Bug 12296] Whitespace handling here doesn't match ES, or Gecko, or Opera. Is there some reason to not just say it works the same as parseInt? Test case alerts 2 in Firefox and Opera (like parseInt()), 0 in Chrome: data:text/html,<!doctype html><input tabindex="&nb

More copy-pasteably:

data:text/html,<!doctype html>
<input tabindex="&nbsp;2">
<script>
alert(document.querySelector("input").tabIndex);
</script>

ES spec:

http://es5.github.com/#x15.1.2.2

I didn't spot any difference other than whitespace handling, but it would be
simpler for everyone if we reused the same definition and said this worked like
parseInt(x, 10).
