Why the method text.trim() is used on all parser.textNode values in ontext method?

[Apkovy]

In soap response there are whitespaces in element content.

I want them to be preserved, but from the code in strong-soap it seems that the text.trim() method is hardcoded.
It does not accept any options.

Specifically I have an element like this and i need the multiple whitespace to be preserved:

<element> </element>

/src/parser/xmlHandler.js:

p.ontext = function(text) { text = text && text.trim(); if (!text.length) return; ... }

Thanks for your reply.
