Actually, I've been meaning to complain about the fact that these
checks aren't run by the default Makefile target.  I never remember
that there is a separate "check" target, and even if I did remember
it's mostly useless to me because I always want to look at the
rendered HTML.  So when I'm working on the docs I always just say
"make" in the doc/src/sgml directory.  It'd be helpful, at least to
me, if the default target ran the tabs and nbsp checks.  It already
does run xmllint, so that change could probably be integrated with
what you've done here without too much trouble.

+1 for merging those two checks into one pass, especially if we're
to run them by default.
