About jQuery size, this won't add much to the size as regex /\s+/g is
already used in the core and could be replaced with a call to trim
(String, true), which would actually improve code coverage. I haven't
looked into the jQuery UI source but I bet it's there as well. You
have a good point about changing the behavior of the trim method, but
the default behavior isn't changed, so I don't know how big a deal it
is.
