  it's a bit complex, it's also related to where entities replacement 
and namespace detection occur in an XML processor.

  &#160; is another way to put it in the stylesheet, and then the same 
character will be generated in the output and depending on the output
encoding it may be generated as &nbsp;, &#160; (or the hexadecimal one)
or directly the caracter with that code point in the given encoding.
This should be completely equivalent for the HTML client.
