RSS Feed has trailing whitespaces

Summary

The <link> entries have additional whitespace.

This creates links within https://friendi.ca/ parsing the feed and creating posts for the fediverse. The software already got a PR from my end and will properly handle them in the future. But some other software might have problems as well. So it might be worth it to fix that. Feel free to decide it is not worth the effort.

Steps to reproduce

Open the Feed at https://typo3.org/rss

Example URL

https://typo3.org/rss

What is the current bug behavior?

The <link> entries have additional whitespace. Same goes for <pubDate>

What is the expected correct behavior?

<link> with only URL and no additional whitespace

Acceptence Criterias
