The output you see contains the direct UTF-8 character for a 
non-breaking space.  It shows up like a funny character because the 
environment in which you're viewing the file probably isn't UTF-8 aware. 
  Semantically though the files are identical.  The JDOM one uses one 
char where the others use six.  If you want ASCII encoding, set the 
outputter to use ASCII.  It'll then automatically encode chars that 
can't be represented within ASCII.  You can also just set an escape 
strategy on the outputter directly if you want UTF-8 but want to encode 
characters that wouldn't ordinarily need to be encoded.
