I agree.
I agree with Ned's statement, however this doesn't answer my question:
do you want to always strip leading/trailing spaces for all tests or not?
I do not particularily like the stripping, and ideally I think [ACAP]
should have specified that i;ascii-numeric ignores leading whitespace.
one alternative way back then would have been to register a new
comparator which handles true numbers (ie. negative numbers and possibly
even decimals) where leading whitespace is disregarded.
however, can we change [RELATIONAL] in such a backwards compatibility
breaking manner?
