  You did miss something: translate.  Technically, you could use

<xsl:template match="text()">
  <xsl:value-of select="translate(., '&#xA0;', '~')"/>
<xsl:template/>

  This assumes you do not have ~ characters in your xml data.  No, 
translate can't change ~ to \~ – only single-letter translations are 
supported.

  Another possibility, but one I never used and have no idea if it 
requires XSLT 2.0, so it may not work at all, would be to use 
xsl:output-character instead:

<xsl:output-character character="~"      string="\\~"/>
<xsl:output-character character="&#xA0;" string="\\nobreakspace{}"/>

  Then again, as long as your definitions work, there's not much point 
in switching.
