No, I don't think so. At least not according to HTML specs. THese are 
all texts inside table cells. If one wants to force non-wrapping 
behaviour, one would have to include the attribute "nowrap" to the table 
cell definition i.e. <td nowrap>bla bla</td>, IIRC.

In this case it's just a bug in the code. Translate them as if there 
were simply whitespaces instead of the &nbsp;.
