Ok then, since I *have* consulted the FAQ (and seem to be missing this).
Could somebody explain to my WHY '&amp;' translates to '&' but '&amp;nbsp;'
doesn't change at all?

And, how would you suggest someone actually get '&nbsp;' into the output in
order to avoid  the issue which started this thread in the first place?
(browsers assuming a different encoding type than is sent, and therefore
mistranslating character 160 as 'Á' instead of ' '?  I have yet to see a
browser which misunderstands '&nbsp;'.

For the record, the FAQ does not seem to contain an explanation of why this
doesn't work.  All I can find is the solution of using '&#160;' instead.  A
search of the archives for 'nbsp;' turnes up ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!  As for
the XSLT spec, I've tried reading it.

Also for the record, it took three responses to this error on my part for
someone to bother to: a) be civil, and/or b) explain WHY the output one
would expect isn't what you *actually* get.  Thank you, Michael Kay.

David Carlisle, if there are as you said, "...an average of 1001 posting a
week for explanations of why this is the case." please let me know what to
search for in the archive to find ONE of them.  Until then get of your
high-horse.

Nope.

It will translate to "&amp;nbsp;" in the output.

*Please* consult the spec, the FAQ, or the archives of this mailing list.
