This does not match description in the doc: ezkeyword coma separated list of keywords and is generally undesirable and confusing, because this list is usually used programmatically, typically converted to item array with explode() and having spaces necessitates trimming these spaces before values can be used.

ezkeyword attribute->toString() prefixes comma separated list items with space. This does not match description in the doc:

ezkeyword
coma separated list of keywords

and is generally undesirable and confusing, because this list is usually used programmatically, typically converted to item array with explode() and having spaces necessitates trimming these spaces before values can be used.

Probably the same applies to toString format of some other datatypes, I haven't checked others.
