>HTML offers &nbsp; and &nnbsp;

Source? Wikipedia disagrees that &nnbsp; is a real entity in (x)html.


>Either &thinsp; is extended to "no-break". Or &nnbsp; is installed.

We just generally offer what html does. Adding our own entities and translating
them on the fly seems to be a bad idea because then it'd be confusing as to why
&somethingRandom; works when it doesn't in html. Furthermore it'd be extremely
confusing to have the parser replace &thinsp; with a character other then what
&thinsp; represents in html.

Note: you can currently type this character using the entities &#8239; or
&#x202f; (or by directly typing it in. In firefrox, ctrl+shift+u + 202f  (thats
a literal plus) types it in. If thats too hard to remember, why not create a
template {{nnbsp}} containing the character.

I suggest wontfixing this.
