  No. &nbsp, == "0xc2 0xa0" in UTF-8. If the browser doesn't display
it correctly:
   - either the browser is broken w.r.t. UTF-8 support (unlikely)
   - the encoding information wasn't passed down properly to the browser

 Read http://xmlsoft.org/encoding.html , and reread it until you fully
understand why it's not a libxml2 problem.
