It's a general problem with XML attribute value normalization, if non-validating parser does not read external DTD it can not determine attribute type and treats it as CDATA.

It is good practice not to rely on parser to strip leading/trailing spaces, but I would say this is general issue with XML attributes (thus better to be addressed by XML Core WG), not something that MathML WG should interfere with.
