Interesting. It seems that non-breaking spaces are being lost when you use 
the HTML source view. If you enter &nbsp; in source view, go back to the 
wysiwyg view, and save the document then you still have a non-breaking 
space (although it is no longer stored as an entity escape so you have to 
examine a character dump to verify that this is the case).

I guess there's a bug somewhere. Probably I need to entity escape the 
source view which is a pity as I can't entity escape the text that Kupu 
saves because Plone has (or had? I haven't checked recently) buggy full-
text indexing which didn't understand html entities.

Firefox? If you figure out a way to prevent Firefox inserting strange 
things when you hit return then I'll buy you several beers.
