and VOTable.

One of our staff here, Ed Sabol, has caught an apparent inconsistency in the VOTable document and schema. The document recommends using &nbsp; elements for embedded spaces (in the discussion of character primitives in section 6), but the schema does not define it, and nbsp is not a standard XML escape sequence.

Probably the simplest thing to do is to simply delete the reference in the document. The numeric alternative is &#x20; is fine. Alternatively the next version of the Schema could define nbsp.

	Regards,
