I agree, I don't need to care whether I get an &nbsp;, &160;, &#xA0;, or
�.  My xslt processor is producing an � in the resulting HTML file, and
unfortunately that character is showing up in my browser literally
and not as a non-breaking whitespace.

Adding the semicolons above also produces an � described above.
