Ooh, that's interesting. The one I'm using (gnome's libxslt) doesn't, at
least not the version I'm using, but it sounds like a good idea. Do you
know which ones do this?
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"
>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
[ ]
</xsl:template >
</xsl:stylesheet>
just tried 3, xt and saxon output as an entity reference, eg:
bash$ java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet ~/nbsp.xsl ~/nbsp.xsl
[ ]
bash$
msxsl outputs it as utf8 character data (presumably because it chose not
to recognise latin-1.
Changing that to
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"
>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="us-ascii"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
[ ]
</xsl:template >
</xsl:stylesheet>
then msxsl outputs as   (saxon outputs as and xt gives
UnsupportedEncodingException)
