Sorry, I generally do not reply to these type of emails sent directly to me.  
If you want to discuss Hibernate development, joining the development mailing 
list is not an undue hardship.

Hibernate historically has not handled xml text very well imo.  We used to 
have this same issue with stuff in cfg.xml, although I changed all that to 
use the trimmed text.  However, blindly using trimmed text from a mapping 
file is not as viable.

So certainly we could have SequenceGenerator account for trimming the sequence 
name.  I obviously have no objections to that.

As for not not creating the dual_* tables:
1) I do not like (and will not code for) a "MY_COMMON_DUAL" approach; this is 
a simple oversight in HSQLDB (at least "back then", #2 alleviates that 
shortcoming)
2) since when was the "call NEXT VALUE FOR [sequence_name]" syntax available?  
Depending on the answer to that, I have no issues with going this route; 
create a patch and attach to a JIRA request.
