I am looking at richtext's content with spaces converted to  

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>


Tag <not_empty> reports the content to be non-empty due to html entities. I'd like to know if it's a common practice among members to keep such spaces. Is it better to consider the above to be "empty" and mod tag accordingly?

P.S. A topic on related subject where I reported <img> stripped viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9913#p23463

P.P.S. @KK I tried to convert &nbsp; to normal spaces with my tag back2html (equivalent of $FUNCS->unhtmlentities()) and had bumped into a wall. Reported an issue in git.
