Oliver Becker answered a query about inserting a non-breaking space
(included below).  Another way to include such things (more cumbersome but
sometimes useful) is by using the disable-output-escaping method:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method='html'/>
<xsl:template match='/'>
<p><xsl:text disable-output-escaping='yes'>Trial of nbsp: This contains a
&amp;nbsp; here</xsl:text></p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Run this against any xml file to see a nbsp in the output..
