It looks like Anders found that in some cases a a non breakable space could be 
added to a string in Gmail:

"I did test your patch from within gmail in Chrome. One this that I realized 
was that when typing a space, it sometimes came out as a plain space, sometimes 
as a non-breakable space. I'm not sure this is specific to the edit field in 
gmail, but I think it would ba good idea to trim both kind of spaces."

That's the rationale.

But as I pointed out earlier, it would also be nice to have a clear definition 
of what "trimming" a string means. It is means remove the ws at the beginning 
and end of the string then the Unicode characters for ws should be used.
