One way of saying this would be "Atom Processors MAY ignore leading

That works for me. Another idea is "Atom Processors MAY ignore leading
and/or trailing whitespace in elements whose content does not allow
leading and/or trailing whitespace, such as IRIs and ________."
I don't understand the benefits of MAY. It sounds like this to me:
"whitespace is not allowed in certain elements, but you may ignore that
directive by trimming the content".
Exactly: that's the MAY.
