That is a fair point.

My own preference is for not having to list them as exclusions in the
checkstyle config. Thinking about it, I'm not sure how easy that would
be. It is easy enough to filter by file extension but that doesn't quite
work in this case. I'd rather not have a separate checkstyle file just
for trailing white-space but I don't see another way to exclude the spec
files.

Given that diff tools can be easily configured to ignore white-space I'm
leaning towards leaving things as they currently are.
