Honestly, I would have thought they had been obsoleted by things like
tagsoup or jtidy.

There are way more space characters in Unicode than you'll ever want to
know.  In particular there is a "non-breaking space" character and I
guess this is what you see as "weird bytes".  &nbsp; is not a simple
space and so you can't expect to get that.
