Either use the calibre compare book tool or use the calibre unpack book tool to take a look at the contents of the file. Or use the editor itself, since it does not make any changes to the html when simply opening the file.
Thanks both of you for your replies. Now all this makes sense. So this nice calibre editor must absolutely be the last and final step in my workflow.

I tried the "compare" tool which is very handy. This is discovery day!!

I saw what happens to &nbsp and nnbsp (see entities snapshot and red squares) and how doctype is silently killed! Utterly frightening!
