Well, the guy who was having problems with it came up with a solution.  It's 
not exactly efficient, but at least it works.  Every place where a space is 
needed between data fields, he has inserted the following statement:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>

If that's all it takes, I'll modify my code that creates the XSL to use this 
statement everywhere a space is required.

Things are more like they are now than they ever have been before.
