&nbsp; not escaped in xsl:text

           Summary: &nbsp; not escaped in xsl:text
           Product: XalanC
           Version: 1.4.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: XalanC
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The following statement (output mode is html...):

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&nbsp;</xsl:text>

gives me the following error:

XSLT warning: Fatal Error at (file testSet-html.xsl, line 62, column 59): 
Entity 'nbsp' was not found (testSet-html.xsl, line 62, column 59)
Entity 'nbsp' was not found

Other special characters, such as &amp; and &lt; work as expected (no 
warning, and the generated HTML has the expected characters inserted, 
although they are in their explicit ascii format)...
