Enforceable? No one seems to know with certainty. There have been long threads on the matter here with never a firm resolution.
Most of us will say, and there are some that will disagree, that saving a single middle seat, in a non-exit, non bulkhead row will not be objectionable.
The main problems occur when multiple seats are saved or when seats are saved in the very few seats that can be considered "premium" seats (a term defined loosely) on WN. In general, the "premium" seats are the 11A-11C exit row with extra legroom, 12F the infinite legroom seat, the LUV-bird seats 11D-E (which have no special room advantage) and the bulkhead seats.
