but the so called "top tip" doesn't warn that

a) an XSL processor may ignore disable-output-escaping
and
b) The resulting document will not be well formed XML unless a suitable
<!DOCTYPE is specified 
and that
c) if the html output method is being used, many systems will output
&nbsp; anyway so the whole issue is moot.
