I ran into a problem when adding an RSS feed from goodreads.com: http://www.goodreads.com/review/list_rss/691257?shelf=currently-reading

When I tried to use views to output the Original Url of the items the link would be formatted incorrectly something like this:
http://example.com/%0A%09%09%20%20http%3A/%252Fwww.goodreads.com/review/...

Looking at the value stored in the database I could see there was a bunch of white space preceding the value. Long story short all I had to do was add a trim function to the $original_url variable and the link now outputs as expected.

Note that I only tried this on RSS 2.0 feeds, I'm not sure if this extends to others.

Good catch. We need to apply this to 6.x HEAD.

Thank you for the patch!
FYI: we have multiple feed type handler functions (_parser_common_syndication_RSS20_parse, _parser_common_syndication_RDF10_parse, etc), you updated only one, but really good catch!
