the docbook-xsl stylesheets. The cause of the problem is perfectly described under "5. Be careful with nonbreaking spaces" on this web page:

This is not perfect description, but complete mess. If you have problems displaying files containing Unicode character with code 160 (U+00A0), then your browser is unable to infer encoding used correctly. This can be due misconfigured HTTP server, but there could be other things that went wrong.

To summarize, special characters in the docbook-xsl
stylesheets are transformed into the actual special characters
in the output of the transformation when the transformation
method is selected as "xml".  So, for example, when
a transformation is done into FO XML, a table title in the
FO XML output contains "Table 1. xxxxx"; however, the spaces

(a non-breaking space) which is not valid in an XML file.

after the word "Table" and after "1." are not the ASCII space character, they are a single character code 160

This character is perfectly valid in XML file. XML file can contain any Unicode character in element and attribute content.

From everything I've read, it seems like this is the

correct behavior

Seems that you have read wrong resources.

Does anyone have any comments or suggestions?

You didn't show us your code which is dealing with JAXP. Could it be that you are using your own stream for writing output of transformation and you are setting incorrect encoding on this stream?
