ajax4jsf and facelets - non breaking space

[deathdealer]

no matter what i use:

<h:outputText escape="false" value=" "/>
<f:verbatim> </f:verbatim>

IE works fine but Firefox gives me XML Parsing Error: undefined entity

Now if I comment out the following in web.xml then Firefox works fine.

<filter>
 <display-name>Ajax4jsf Filter</display-name>
 <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
 <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>forceparser</param-name>
 <param-value>false</param-value>
 </init-param>
 </filter>

 <filter-mapping>
 <filter-name>ajax4jsf</filter-name>
 <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
 <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
 <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
 <dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
 </filter-mapping>

Is there a difference in parsing? What gives?

This is not about ajax4jsf, but about xhtml in general. Question about non-breaking spaces is very popular on facelets malling and answered many times.
