nxml-mode is not included in Emacs's distribution.  I've
searched for it in the Internet and found this is the homepage:
   http://www.thaiopensource.com/nxml-mode/
but currently this site doesn't react.   So, please send me
nxml-mode.el.

By the way, I've tried this simple code in *scratch* to test
overlay (I'm not sure this is what nxml-mode is doing), but
found no problem.  How about you?

(progn
  (setq o (make-overlay 1 5))
  (overlay-put o 'after-string (string (decode-char 'ucs #xa0))))
