There should at least be an xsl:stylesheet element enclosing the template,
where you declare the binding of the xsl prefix to the appropriate
namespace for XSLT 1.0, and include the appropriate version attribute.
There should also be a prolog where you declare that the document is in
the XML 1.0 syntax, in a particular encoding.

It is not predefined. Only < > & " ' are predefined.
You can either use   or  , or you can define an entity like nbsp
for the same.
Try:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="article/b2/tekst">
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="./@author"/>
</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
