Explicit space in tag gets removed

[christiansyoung]

I was doing this:

<h2>&nbsp;</h2> 

and htmlmin removed this space.

We also have this problem and really want it fixed. The problem is that django-htmlmin uses s in their whitespace-removal regex which also removes non-breaking spaces. I haven't come up with a clean solution to this yet…

Found a solution, I will now prepare a pull request.
