Trim Whitespace?

[jlpoolen]

I'm trying to insert text with indentation and the SVG editor's trimming of whitespace, at line 122, editor/sanitize.js is preventing me from doing to:

if (node.nodeType == 3) { // 3 == TEXT_NODE
// Trim whitespace
node.nodeValue = node.nodeValue.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');`

prevents me from doing so. What is the specification driving this alteration of whitespace?

and the svgToString function in editor/svgcanvas.js has at line 3907:

case 3: // text node
var str = child.nodeValue.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, '');
