I have not tested the performance impact yet, but have doubts about promoting
manual non-breaking space insertion. 

An alternative to consider would be to insert non-breaking spaces automatically
in these links, which would avoid cluttering the source with ugly HTML
entities. The length of IDs and especially of RFC/ISBN/PMID prefixes is quite
short, so a non-breaking space should not cause major display problems, even on
small displays. ISBN links in narrow table columns (infoboxes maybe) could
still be an issue, and would need to be checked.

Independent of the non-breaking space issue I am in favor of restricting the
number of newlines between link prefix and ID just as you did in your patch.
Could you rework the patch to include the count directly in the regexp, similar
to my regexp above?
