Comment:

 +1 for the importance of this issue. Our French authors are driven mad by
 the inability to add non-breaking spaces, it's like forcing them to use
 incorrect grammar (they have a lot of punctuation with spaces before the
 text like "« Salut Jeanne !").

 Please lets make WP allow the proper usage of NBSP, especially since it's
 already allowed as a hack to fake empty paragraphs (it seems this bug
 doesn't affect NBSP that are on their own line, which is semantically
 crazy).

 I tested the patch and it fixed the problem for me. Hopefully this can get
 into the next version of WP.
