The accessible name and accessible description calculation skips trimming whitespace. Joanie Diggs points out in her email that Joseph will be updating the ARIA 1.1 spec to include whitespace trimming in name and description calculations (that was in ARIA 1.0 but omitted in error from ARIA 1.1).

This my reply email https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-svg-a11y/2016Jan/0032.html.

So the question is do we need to update any docs to reflect trimming of whitespace in the name and description calculations?  I think it may be needed in an editors note...
