I think I understand what you mean. TeX does never remove kern spacing,
so in this sense \enspace is almost equivalent to a "protected" \enskip.
Almost, because in vertical mode it inserts vertical space, and TeX is
in vertical mode at the very beginning of a new paragraph.
A real protected \enskip would be as follows:
\vrule [EMAIL PROTECTED]@\nobreak\enskip\hskip [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but it is really ugly, so I think it is better using \hspace*{0.5em}
(which expands to the above uglyness).
