I escape spaces and character entities in form fields; if you do the
following:
    <input name="x" size=20 maxlength=20 value="<%= someVal %>">
and someVal contains space characters (or worse, '>'), it won't display
properly.  If you escape the spaces, it will, and this is what I use the
method for.

If I'm emitting HTML where I know what it will be beforehand, I simply
include any appropriate character entities in my resource strings.
