[TYPO3-project-formidable] Reading XML configuration

[Manuel Rego Casasnovas]

Hi Jerome,

I'm not sure about the side effects using trim() in xml2array.

In CDATA sections the white spaces haven't any specially meaning.
In PHP or HTML the white spaces after and before any text are ignored.

I don't find the problems to use trim(), you can test it but I'm not sure.

Bye,
   Rego
