Well, defining your own entity called "nbsp" would make you very
adventurous Eric ;-)
That is one design flaw in only having a single delimiter for named
references:
there is the possibility of clashing entity definitions. Which is why I
think in
general it is good if "&" is kept for characters and some other
reference system
(XInclude or whatever) is preferred for macro-inclusion of strings or
fragments.
