[thelist]   in XSL

i'm trying to insert a non-breaking space into my XSL document (so 
that   gets rendered to my HTML output)... however, it does 
not want to work... so, after some searching, i found two possible 
ways to do it:

this doesn't seem to work at all:
  <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&nbsp;</xsl:text>

so i tried this:
  <![CDATA[ ]]>
which renders as ' '... but if i do <![CDATA[>]]>, it renders as 
'&gt;'...  seems to work for other entities as well... but not a non-
breaking space character...

so, does anyone know how to get a '&nbsp;' string out of XSL 
without it just spitting a space character?

my resources for this info were:

specifically:
