The first is not treated as white space by the HTML parser, the second is. As a result the " " is not guaranteed to showup within certain HTML markup, while the non breakable space will always show up. should be handled as a whitespace. should be handled as two whitespaces.
41. (it should have a semi-colon on the end) is an entity for a non-breaking space. Use it between two words that should not have a line break inserted between them by word wrapping. There is a good explanation about when this is appropriate grammar on the English StackExchange. It is sometimes abused to create horizontal space between ...
