 Replying to [comment:23 CK MacLeod]:
 > The following function works, but, like most of the other fixes proposed
 on other threads, or that you can find around the Web - some focusing on
 WP php functions, some on tinyMCE or other Javascript methods - it doesn't
 allow users who want non-breaking spaces to keep them:
 >
 > {{{
 > add_filter( 'content_save_pre', 'remove_buggy_nbsps', 99 );
 >
 > function remove_buggy_nbsps( $content ) {
 >
 >    return str_replace( '\xc2\xa0', ' ', $content);
 >
 > }
 > }}}

 > It could be improved upon in various ways, no doubt, but, like I said,
 it works.

 It only works if you replace these single quotes by double quotes, ie.:
 {{{
 return str_replace( "\xc2\xa0", ' ', $content);
 }}}

 Thanks for this fix btw. It was messing things up in another system that
 depends on a WP feed.
