The W3C XML Schema Language recognizes strings with extra space as
legal ints, integers, floats, etc. For example width=" 75.2 " is a
legal double. I suggest that in the Attribute class the various
getDoubleValue, getFloatValue(), getBooleanValue() etc. methods trim
white space from both ends of the string before attempting to convert
them to the relevant types.
