I couldn't find any way in the spec to put in a "hard space" which would not removed. E.g {{{"|Row one"}}} vs. {{{"| Row one"}}}
At line 5 removed 30 lines

There isn't.

Logically speaking a "hard space" ({{{&nbsp;}}}) should be an escaped white space {{{"~ "}}}. Obviously this may not be isn't possible which makes a space a bit of a special case alongside a "hard newline" ({{{<br>}}}) which should be:-
{{{"This is a line of text~<uline>
continuation"}}}
OK, so it would appear that a "hard newline" is \\<uline>
Accoding to wikipedia " In Wikitext, the character entity reference &nbsp; often represents NBSP.
In TeX and LaTeX, a tilde (~) is used to denote the hard space."
As someone who can't remember &nbsp even though I use it regularly I would wholeheartedly try to disuade anyone from using &nbsp. ~ would be a sensible proposal, but 10:1 people will not expect ~ to suddenly disappear everytime they put it into the text so I wouldn't support its use.
Other suggestions I have are:-
# {{{ {} }}} "An empty image????"
# {{{ <> }}} "???
# {{{ [] }}} "An empty link .... I'm going to suggest this for internal links"
# {{{ \~ }}} "Almost logical but Not at all practical.
I can't remember ever seeing "<>" being used elsewhere so perhaps as it almost represents a container of space, it is perhaps the most sensible proposal.
