This solution works correctly, thank you.
It strips leading and trailing whitespace.
But now, I am wondering if there is a solution just using libxml2 (without
libxslt).
In fact, I am requesting for a transformation of the XML document.
Indeed, the original node contains whitespaces and I want to remove them...
So I think the answer is "NO!", because this is the job of stylesheets to apply
this transformation.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to apply a function which does this work
in libxml2 ?

Don't know the C API, but in XSLT there's the function normalize-space()
and it does just what you want, so you might want to take a look at the
source of LibXSLT. Or use XSLT directly.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="text()" priority="2">
<xsl:copy-of select="normalize-space()"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
