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.
