Just want in your opinion the best way to deal with this issue so I can
adopt it once and forget about it.
The FAQ for this list has a specific entry about nbsp
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/characters.html
However the result tree will be unaffected by the way in which you enter
the character:
You can enter the no break space directly,
you can enter it as a character reference & # 1 6 0 ;
you can use a dtd, define an entity with any name at all (eg nbsp)
which is defined to be character 160.
As all of the above will be resolved to the same thing by an XML parser,
the XSL system can not tell which input style was used, and so will
generate identical output in all cases. So it's a matter of taste which
style to use, just using & # 1 6 0 ; in the stylesheet (or source doc)
is the simplest, but some people prefer to define a named entity.
