I use this:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  ;; replace space by nobreak-space where it fits well
  (defun my/replace-space-before-colon ()
    "Replace space by nobreak-space in front of a colon."
    (interactive)
    (cond ((eq (char-before) ?\ ) ;; normal space
           (backward-delete-char 1)
           (cond ((equal mode-name "PDFLaTeX")
                  (insert "~:"))
                 ((equal mode-name "Org")
                  (if (and (fboundp 'org-in-src-block-p)
                           (org-in-src-block-p))
                      (insert " :")
                    (insert " :")))
                 ;; FIXME Don't put a nobreak space when specifying Org
                 ;; Babel properties (such as :exports both)
                 (t
                  (insert " :")))) ;; non-breaking space
          ;; remove nobreak-space if two colons are put one after the
          ;; other (for terms and definitions in Org)
          ((and (eq (char-before) ?\:)
                (eq (char-before (- (point) 1)) ?\ ))
           (backward-delete-char 2)
           (insert " ::")) ;; normal space

          (t
           (insert ":"))
          ))

  ;; French typography
  (defun my/nobreak-keys ()
    "If any, replace space in front of colons, question marks, exclamation
  marks, etc. to avoid line break problems."
    (interactive)
    (local-set-key ":" 'my/replace-space-before-colon))

  (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'my/nobreak-keys)
  (add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'my/nobreak-keys)
#+end_src

in order to have real nbsp as well in my Org buffer. They aren't translated
neither to HTML nor to LaTeX (they're simply copied across), allowing for
consistent view in all the buffers (source + outputs).

Best regards,
  Seb
