Shedding more light on the REXML issue, with Ruby 1.8.6 it works!
irb(main):003:0> REXML::Text.new(" ",false,nil,false).to_s
=> " "
irb(main):004:0> REXML::Text.new("&",false,nil,false).to_s
=> "&"
So, do we require a higher version of Ruby (I was using 1.8.4
before)? Or.. ?

I've added this currently failing test to server_test.rb:
def test_entities
@connection.add(:id => 1, :title_text => " ")
response = @connection.query('nbsp')
assert_equal 1, response.total_hits
assert_equal '1', response.hits[0]['id']
end
This works fine with libxml, but fails with REXML because of
REXML's ridiculous escape-everything-not-already-escaped policy.
At the moment I'm not sure how to resolve this, and I'm not
currently sure how acts_as_solr worked with REXML any differently.
Thiago - can you shed any light on that?
My vote is to get rid of REXML support in solr-ruby and either
require libxml-ruby to be installed or find some other lighter
weight replacement.
Thoughts?

Please look into it as soon as possible, acts_as_solr is using
solr-ruby as the backend it cannot have a buggy behavior.
Thanks.
