From an email conversation I had with Aryeh in January 2012: (Since I'm thinking about canonicalization of whitespace, a tip: set white-space: pre-wrap on any contenteditable regions you use, and wherever you use them. This will stop you from needing to use nbsp's in ways they were never intended to be used, which causes a variety of subtle bugs. See <http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html#canonical-space-sequences> for a basic explanation, and click the first "View Comments" at <http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/raw-file/tip/editing.html#the-inserttext-command> for a more detailed explanation of how nbsp substitution works in practice.)
