str.strip()and friends were linked tostr.isspace()in #150021 and #150901, but the byte-sequence methods and thesplit()/rsplit()methods of both types still said just "whitespace" or "ASCII whitespace" with nothing to follow. Bothisspace()methods define the term -- a Unicode-database rule forstr, the six byte values forbytes-- so the word itself now links there.
