Whitespace should be trimmed in token elements

[davidcarlisle]

There is a related issue in the repo for the full spec

#165

However there does not seem to one here and the current draft is silent on the issue.

MathML specifies that white space at start and end of token elements is ignored (essentially like whitespace at ends of a HTML <p>) Almost all examples in the current MathML4 draft have space in token elements that needs to be removed while rendering.

For example

https://w3c.github.io/mathml/#examples-5

<mfrac linethickness="3px">
  <mrow>
    <mo> ( </mo>
      <mfrac linethickness="0">
        <mi> a </mi>
        <mi> b </mi>
      </mfrac>
    <mo> ) </mo>
    <mfrac>
      <mi> a </mi>
      <mi> b </mi>
    </mfrac>
  </mrow>
  <mfrac>
    <mi> c </mi>
    <mi> d </mi>
  </mfrac>
</mfrac>

Renders in Firefox as

The rendering in Edge is

in which the variables are not italic and the space is affecting the spacing. If the space characters are deleted, edge renders this as

MathML Core should mandate the firefox behaviour here, for compatibility with the existing corpus of MathML documents and for general usability and user expectations.

For the record, #165 is about trimming whitespace when parsing attributes, which is much easier to do.

@fred-wang er yes I should probably delete that opening line as it's just confusing in this context
