Common microsyntaxes for numbers allow leading whitespace and allow
trailing garbage. I understand why the algorithms for UAs other than
conformance checkers might be defined not to fail when there is
trailing garbage. However, to help authors catch typos, I think only
trailing whitespace should be conforming not just any trailing garbage.
