See comment 11.

By the way, it maybe could be more flexible (and therefore more feasible for
the editor to accept) to add new 'trim' boolean attribute -- as Anne has
proposed in comment 1.

This could have benefits for both sides:

1. default definition of 'required' state keeps simple as it is currently;

2. when needed (in fact, always), web-developers could automatically add trim
attribute to all required fields by using trivial JavaScript like this:

[].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('[required]'), 0).forEach(function() {
    this.trim = true;
});
