In Section 2, paragraph 5,
Both kinds of Atom Documents are specified in terms of the XML
Information Set, serialised as XML 1.0 [W3C.REC-xml-20040204] and
identified with the "application/atom+xml" media type. Atom
Documents MUST be well-formed XML. This specification does not
define a DTD for Atom Documents, and hence does not require them to
be valid (in the sense used by XML).
append one of the following:
1.) Atom processors MAY consider leading and trailing whitespace in
element and attribute values to be significant.
2.) In attribute values and elements containing text, leading and
trailing whitespace is considered significant.
I give a big +1 to either option.
