Ooops! Sorry I've been lazy :) Great to hear your problem has been fixed.

At the moment the way it's set is that if either your $Petal::INPUT or 
$Petal::OUTPUT (or the associated options in the constructor) are set to 
'HTML', then Petal will decode the HTML entities.

And actually   should be converted to a character with the code 
decimal 160 (Or A0) which corresponds to a non breaking space white. So 
the   disappears but is replaced by a "real" non breaking space 
character.

I encourage you to take a look at MKDoc::XML::Decode::XHTML source to 
see which HTML entities are supported: there's quite a few in there :)

Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
