Strange Xalan behavior

[igort@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

when Xalan XSLT parser encounters &nbps symbol (c#160)
it consider it as an element, instead of text node, and throws SAXException
with message
"XSL Error : could not parser Input XML document !"
"XSL Error : SAXException"
"The element type XXX must be terminated by end-tag XXX"

the input xml is valid and it has an end-tag, however the text node is "
&nbsp" preseneted as c#160 and if I replace it with any other character it
works perfectly.

Any idea how to deal with it ???

Thank you in advance.

Igor
