I would point to fixing the non-conformant behaviour and not trying to change something that is already working.
But you shouldn't be trying to escape it as it isn't text, it is markup. No such method exists.
I hope this helps.

I'm fairly new to XML and am trying to generate an HTML file from XML/XSL. ... If I load the xml file (which references the xsl) from within IE6 the " " is displayed as I'd expect (whitespace). However, when using the Microsoft .NET XslTransform, outputting to stdout and redirected to a file I get an ASCII character of value 0xff in the file.
Sounds like the processor is not conformant.
What I'd really like is to get the unencoded " " in the file so that it looks like typical HTML.
Section 16.2 of XSLT says this is optional and one cannot request that it be that way or not:
"The html output method may output a character using a character entity reference, if one is defined for it in the version of HTML that the output method is using."
I've tried "&nbsp" but it comes out unchanged.
Right ... as it should.
If this is possible I'd really appreciate some pointers.

On a similar note, is there some escape mechanism such as "\ " or "& " (I realise those aren't valid).
But you shouldn't be trying to escape it as it isn't text, it is markup. No such method exists.
I hope this helps.
