We do something similar here - the XML files have "~nbsp"
(or another entity) in them.  After processing, those
"~nbsp"'s are in the HTML file.  After the XSLT is
processed, a substitution is made on the HTML file.  I have
a simple Python script that acts as a "wrapper" - it runs
the XSLT in a system call, and then runs the substitution 
on the HTML file.  The added processing time on it is
minimal.

If anyone has a better solution, I'd be glad to hear it.

Mike
