"white-space:normal" is not performing wrapping of words separated by   char... 
- is this ok?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
  is not interpreted like a white-space (no wrapping is performed):
<div style="width:100px;white-space:normal">hola&nbsp;a&nbsp;todos,&nbsp;cómo&nbsp;estámos</div>

&nbsp; is not interpreted like a white-space (no wrapping is performed):
<div style="width:100px;white-space:normal">hola&nbsp;a&nbsp;todos,&nbsp;cómo&nbsp;estámos</div>

2.-The equivalent code without &nbsp; wrapps ok:
<div style="width:100px;white-space:normal">hola a todos, cómo estámos</div>


Actual Results:  
hola a todos, cómo estamos

Expected Results:  
hola a todos,
cómo estamos

nbsp is non-breaking space. The whole point is that wrapping won't occur at its position.
