If you parse an HTML document with an HTML parser then it knows about 
nbsp but a general XML parser does not know that entity unless it is 
declared in a DTD. Use &#160; instead of &nbsp;. Or write a DTD defining 
the entity nbsp and make sure your XSLT processor uses an XML parser 
that processes DTDs.
