I didn't reply earlier because I agree with you. It's leading spaces that should be ignored. I can easily imagine an extended version of decimal that accepted fractions (e.g., "1 1/2"), and obviously spaces should NOT be ignored. I don't think such an extension should be mandated by the standard (that's a fairly exotic extension), but we should PERMIT it.
