I have done the opposite: insert nbsp's in other parts of the
navigation bar. This was the intent all along (so that the navigation
elements may be read as a block rather than split across lines).
However, these pages are edited by a variety of people and so some of
the editing conventions may not be followed strictly. I appreciate
that you brought it to my attention (and if you see similar things on
other pages, let me know). Thanks!

I see that you might be treating that text specially because it
contains two links (rather than just one).
Would this work a little better?:
- Move the words "current status of" out of the text (label) of the
first link (so it's plain text as the work "and" is). That would
make the link wording more consistent ("specifications" and "groups"
vs. "current status of specification" and "groups").
- Then change the NBSPs to plain spaces, since the two link labels
are no longer non-parallel (which presumably led to adding the NBSPs
to clarify things).
