Also Michael is adding nbsp to a DTD that you have in your stylesheet 
the most generic and "best practice" for dealing with this specific issue.

I see other post about changing the &nbsp that are added to the xml 
input file to &#160; then testing for element that contain this 
nonbreaking space character ; when found <xsl:text 
disableoutputescaping>&amp;amp;nbsp;</xsl:text>.

Just want in your opinion the best way to deal with this issue so I can 
adopt it once and forget about it.

Sincerely,

Scott
