This is only my point of view. But I'll try to comment it graphically and not cryptically.

Reading French language texts, you may find thousands of nbsp in one novel. If we use also nnbsp, the previous figure would then be roughly equally split between these two entities.

Now I let you compare what you see when you peruse a French text in code view with the calibre editor (first screenshot) and with Sigil 0.7.3.(second screenshot) If you use the latest Sigil 0.7.4, you'll just replace the   by the &-#-160;

I am sorry but I like better the calibre display even if I have to learn some new tricks. YMMV of course.

This was for display comparison. For the technical bits (why is this better or not), I just trust Kovid Goyal for implementing a no-nonsense solution...
