The CommonMark spec shows an example of &nbsp; being replaced by something other than a normal space (presumably a Unicode non-breaking space character).

From a doc that the spec links to:

  "&nbsp;": { "codepoints": [160], "characters": "\u00A0" },
  "&nbsp": { "codepoints": [160], "characters": "\u00A0" },

My example showed that the renderer translates it to a normal space, not \u00A0. I think this is a bug in CommonMark

I can confirm this bug. The spaces are all ord(u' ') == 32 while ord(u"\u00A0") == 160.
