At any rate, I move that we

come to realize.
That's how I see it as well. As I mentioned before, DocBook has a list
of its own of strip-space elements. Those will be our safety net here.
And further below we'll have HTML and ... and I'm not sure about the
other output formats...
I'd say let's go for it! I think it's the right way to go.
After some local testing, I've committed to CVS the wildcard
preserve-space, which is a conservative approach to whitespace stripping
and should be the safest behaviour.
I've also been testing removing nbsp from quickbook with a little script
that filters 'em out. So far, everything is looking good. With this fix
in, we should be able to remove nbsp handling from quickbook altogether.
I've also added some small self contained tests to quickbook's
"test-suite" that should help us keep an eye for issues from removing nbsp.
Please report any glitches I missed so we can track those bugs and
squash 'em (more on squash bugs here,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squash_bug ;-).
Regards,
João
