We are recommending that trimLeft and trimRight use UWS, leave trim alone to

Right, it would too risky to change rim() as it goes all the way back to
JDK 1.0.
If you introduce a method named "trimWhitespace" then I think it would
be a surprising if were not aligned with "isWhitespace". I also share
Stuart's concerns about the handling of control characters in legacy
trim (or TWS in the proposal). Can you expand a bit on why UWS was
recommended?
