RE: nbsp;

You can declare character entities in an internal declaration, e.g.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY nl "&#10;">
<!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

This declares &nl; to be a new line, and &nbsp; to be the non-breaking space
character. I like using this because then it's easier to read the xsl. If
you see &#160; all over the templates, you have to go look it up to realize
it's really nbsp.

Is there something unusual about the &nbsp; entity? My XML looks like this:

<description><b>The best &nbsp;</b></description>

when I transform it (using XT) I get an error: Reference to undefined entity
" ".

other entities like &amp; work fine, anyone know why this happens?
