Node.data trims start/end whitespace

[Emmanouil Batsis]

In other words, konq's concatenation of the text nodes found in the following 
doc:

<root><element>this has <![CDATA[ CDATA ]]></element> and some more 
text</root>

is "this hasCDATAand some more text" while it should be "this has CDATA and 
some more text". I'm using KDE 3.4.
