Hi,
Do the XHTML files have a DOCTYPE declaration that references a PUBLIC identifier?  If 
so, you could set up an XML catalog that points to a local copy of the XHTML DTD that 
defines the entities.  Then xsltproc can use that catalog when opening the xhtml files 
to get the entity definitions in the DTD.

I’m not /sure/ that’s the only solution; the point is that you need to
make the processor aware of the entity ‘&nbsp;’ within the documents
being included.  If you look at html/pi.xsl line 1046[1], the
stylesheet uses the XSLT ‘document()’ function to slurp the contents
of each included document, so I don’t think there’s anything you can
change in the process.
