If 'nbsp' is banished - because "[its] not part of HTML" - how would I get two spaces between sentences, most (all ?) viewers seem to ignore a second 'space'.

nbsp is not banished in HTML but is not defined in XML. ePub uses XHTML which is a predefined XML implementation, not an HTML implementation no matter what extension you use. It is possible to defined named entities in the file itself but better to use the numeric equivalents. 160 is decimal while A0 is hexadecimal. Either will work if defined properly. You are correct that in XML and HTML multiple regular spaces are reduced to a single space when being interpreted.
