Well, for one thing,   is not an internally-defined XML entity
(the way & and < are).  Conceivably you could create another
entity in a different dialect of XML where   meant something
other than the Unicode character  , and if this were included in
the XSLT standard, there would be no way of creating this other entity
in a stylesheet, because it would then *always* produce &#xa0.

Oh, and by the way, XSLT *does* include  , if your output method
is HTML that is. :)
