Re: ignoring   when transforming xml to wml

You can't get a stylesheet to ignore nbsp because you can't get it to
see it.

If  you have an XML file that has & nbsp; but does not have a <!DOCTYPE
pointing at a DTD that defines this entity, then the file is not well
fomrned XML, ie it isn't XML at all and will generate a fatal error on
any XML system, and on any attempt to transform with XSLT in particular.

If the source file does have a dtd that defines nbsp the XSLT will not
see the nbsp entity reference, it will see the character refetenced
(which is character 160 if nbsp is defined with its usual definition).

It sounds like you are in the first case.
You need to fix your input to make it well formed XML by adding a DTD
that defines nbsp or more simply just use & #160; instead of & nbsp;.
