Ok, they are defining it as 160, but, just because that character is blank, did the ISO standard really mean to call it a non breaking space? ... if so, where is ­(its not defined in the HTML 3.2 spec, bad idea IMHO), and what about a HARD or nonbreaking hyphen, and what is &cbsp? | I seem to recall that HTML 3.0 had a "NOFOLD" tag to prevent the folding | of whitespace. I wish we had that now... I don't remember NOFOLD, but it did have a NOWRAP attribute, just like it had a CLEAR attribute ... a couple of things that could really be used... (I hate using <BR CLEAR..> for what it does for LYNX...
