Firstly characters do not need to be encoded as entities, the default utf8 and uttf16 encodings can handle the full unicode range as character data. Secondly entity references such as nbsp; are not handled by your XSLT system but by the XML parser and they always require a DTD that defines those entities excpt for the five predefined entities amp quot lt gt and apos thirdly character references such as   are not entiy references they are treated differently by the XML parser.
