Not sure that it will take care of the issue, but this should be for XML-compliance. The other option is to use the CDATA block to insert the space, but I don't think there's an easy way to insert that via the keyboard. If you do Shift+space then you should get the 160 code. Note, however, that the 160 code (and probably the CDATA block) is considered a character, so 1) the variable/space/variable would resolve to one "word" and would all wrap to the next line if the whole "word" couldn't fit on the first line, and 2) might get hyphenated, depending on how you have the project configured.
I don't have Flare open at the moment to see what I did. I think I did normal space then Shift+space then went back and deleted the Shift+space so the normal space remained. I'm not entirely sure that's what I did, though, and I can't check at the moment, so hopefully someone else will jump in, too.
