The problem here is that nbsp is used in editable regions to ensure that adjacent spaces don't collapse.  To make this work sanely, you have to interchange nbsp and regular space sometimes to avoid multiple nbsps in a row when the user typed regular spaces.  This was discussed on whatwg:

http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-June/032187.html

Relevant reading in my spec as of now includes the note at the beginning of <http://aryeh.name/spec/editing/editing.html#canonical-space-sequences>, and the comment (expand using button on right) at the beginning of <http://aryeh.name/spec/editing/editing.html#the-inserttext-command>.  It's a huge headache.

I'm thinking it would be feasible to respect nbsp vs. regular space distinctions if the element has white-space: pre-wrap specified.  Then none of the magical overuse of nbsp is needed, so they can be treated normally.
