When specifying a Provide-Capability header an attribute may specify a list of String values:

Provide-Capability: foo; s.attr:List<String>="aString,bString,cString"

When the attribute is of type String then whitespace is significant.  Currently the parser is trimming the whitespace from the beginning and end of the overall attribute value.  This makes the following the same as the above header, which is not correct:

Provide-Capability: foo; s.attr:List<String>=" aString,bString,cString "
