Is there some more elegant way of making sure a space gets added after

More elegant than going
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;#160;</xsl:text> crazy, that

is.

That is an inappropriate use of d-o-e= in my opinion.

When I need to do the same I do the following:

<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;"> <!--known for HTML output, not in XML-->
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/><!--use hardwired browser entities-->
<xsl:template match="/">                      <!-- root rule -->
 ...
 <td>&nbsp;</td>
 ...

I hope this helps.
