Entities (and NCRs) are useful for 1) inputting characters not accessible from the keyboard and 2) expressing characters not representable in the document encoding. Neither is the case here, so no change is necessary or advisable. The document's character encoding is meant to express the document's characters, please (continue to) use it. It would be nice, though, if Amaya could display a distinctive glyph for NBSP when in editing mode, like MS-Word does for instance. This is irrespective of what it exports to disk. -- François Yergeau
