Well, as soon as you come into contact with the support team of a quite big online store/community or so, you will see that there are trillions of users pretending stuff you couldn't ever think of before.. these people have the PEBCAK-Syndrome.. But that's quite offtopic ..here. :-) But I must admit - as a "power user" you would expect that whitespace as a suffix or prefix would not be stripped.
