I must say up front that I do not use this editor. I have never used this

But that sure as heck sounds like a good old fashioned "application

Straight scoop from the Fuzz: All versions of HTML I am even a little
familiar with REQUIRE a value in that container.

I can see how it could be debated whether NBSP is a "value" or not given
