RE: Using   in Stylesheets

One thing to be careful about - we've had problems with some Mac browsers
deciding to display character   as a cruciform rather than as a hard
space.

I've resorted to the following (which works when output format is HTML):

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>

Which resolves to &nbsp; in the output.

This isn't a good solution to use if you want your output well-formed, but
with the 'html' output format it works for me (MSXML3).
