As a conclusion, it's doable, but the benefit is very small and limited to a few broken systems, and it has the downside of not discouraging low-quality tables, so my position is that it's not worth it and not desirable.
Thanks for the explanation Jean, I just wanted to make sure we are not going back to the original problem of allocating lots of memory for lots of spaces. Given the limited benefit and low likelihood of encountering lots of strings with lots of leading and trailing spaces, I agree, it's best to stick to the spec. And it's also no longer a static 2048 byte array we are allocating from anymore!
