[O] Emacs non-breaking space (Ctrl-x 8 space) doesn't export to HTML nbsp;

[D. C. Toedt]

Emacs allows you to enter a non-breaking space by typing Ctrl-x 8 space.
 That doesn't export to HTML as nbsp; though.  Is this expected behavior,
or a bug?

I've worked around it by globally-replacing non-breaking spaces with nbsp;
before exporting.

I'm using 7.9.2, the Nov. 5, 2012 build.

Org doesn't replace UTF-8 characters with HTML (or any other export
target) symbols. So, yes, this is the expected behaviour.

Note that you can also have a non-breaking space by using an entity:
\nbsp{}.
