My vote would be for *no* auto trim. Makes things predictable and easy to understand.

Hi

We have a number of JIRA tickets which is related

When you use the XML DSLs you may have a coding style where you have
newlines, and spaces etc. in the text of the XML tags, eg

<transform>
   <simple>
     data=${body}
   </simple>
</transform>

Notice how we have new lines in the<simple>  text.
Below shows what the intent is without newlines:

<transform>
   <simple>data=${body}</simple>
</transform>

Today we will auto trim Simple expressions (but not the others). IMHO
I think this is wrong and we should make this consistent, to either
- no auto trim
- auto trim all expressions

If we auto trim, and you want an explicit newline, then the end user
can use a \n to indicate newline, eg
<transform>
   <simple>data=${body}\n</simple>
</transform>

I think we should go for a
- auto trim all expressions
- end users can use \n to force new lines

Any thoughts?
