I encounter difficulties in stripping the leading and trailing  
whitespace from a node.

The following does not work for me, typesetting \CAST delivers an  
empty result:

\def\Cast#1{\def\CAST{#1}}
\startxmlsetups xml:case:cast
	\Cast{\xmlstrip{#1}{}}
\stopxmlsetups

nor do variants like:
	\Cast{xmlstrip{#1}{*}}
	\Cast{xmlstrip{#1}{/}}
	\Cast{xmlstrip{#1}{/cast}}

What does work is:
	\Cast{\xmlflush{#1}}

How do I proceed?

strip is applied to a node, but does not flush it, so you can appy
\xmlstrip and xmlflush in a row

or just:

\ignorespaces\xmlflush{#1}\removeunwantedspaces
