When the user double clicks on a word the space at the end of the word is also selected, and usually that's not what we want. For many situations it doesn't matter if the space is inside or outside the selection, but currently I'm creating a plugin for a client and due to the CSS the space is collapsed due to the css if it's inside the generated tag, so we want it out.

Re: Smaller Selection (trim ending space)
I have a very strong feeling that this should be a general behavior but for some reason it isn't. Very useful especially if you want to insert a link.
Re: Smaller Selection (trim ending space)
As I wrote in my blog, this could be added as a patch, but providing it as a separate plugin has the benefit of being able to use it right now without waiting for a new release, and also it helps in providing "field testing", so if there are unexpected problems or other adjustments to the code they can be done just by changing this plugin.
