EditFormItem returns   for empty column?

[Lucania]

In my ItemDataBound, I have code that uses EditFormItem[<UniqueName>] to retreive data from a parent grid column. But if the column is bound to empty data, EditFormItem returns "&nbsp;". I currently get around this by replacing the "&nbsp;" with an empty string, but I was just wondering why this would be the case? I understand HTML tables need something in the cell to render properly, but should this be returned by EditFormItem? Shouldn't it be possible to render it correctly without also returning it as the column value? Or is there some way to do this that I am missing?

Thanks
