Re: Space in XSL FO

	<xsl:template match="SPACE">
	 &#160;
	</xsl:template>


Note that will put a newline  some spaces a non-breaking-space and
another newline into the output. I think you only wanted to insert a
single non breaking space, in which case you want

	<xsl:template match="SPACE">&#160;</xsl:template>

or 



	<xsl:template match="SPACE">
          <xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text>
        </xsl:template>

the white space used to indent the xsl elements _is_ significant if
there are any non-white space characters in the same text node, and
#160 is not white space as far as XSLT (or XML) is concerned, even
though it prints as a space.

Once you are only adding one #160 character per SPACE element
you probably will not need to further collapse.
