I have the same problem using a french locale (fr_FR), on a Linux Mandrake 7.0 box.
As a newbie I won't hack the code... I am interested by Gille's solution. Is it possible to simply remap ascii char 160 to ascii char 20. What are the files to modify ? How ?
Is there a problem to change next ht://Dig version to let the parser convert   to a space ?
Is it long and/or difficult ?
