Daevid: Go ahead and strip out the whitespace, but replace it with a delimiter string that is unique and then don't consider that delimiter when comparing strings to strings. Afterwards, if you want to keep the string (instead of deleting it), then reverse the process adding back in the whitespace and removing the delimiter. Also, you may want to look into using array_unique() for comparing groupings of several strings (i.e., paragraphs) to other groupings. It works pretty slick for me.
