	[DJW:]  I made the same mistake in the past.  &zwnj is for use
	with non-latin scripts; the character they want is a 
	zero width space, as pointed out in my earlier reply.
	&zwnj may work, but it is not intended for this purpose
	and is not a white space character in the formal sense
	used by the HTML specification.
