Lack of double spaces between sentences is the standard publication
protocol for publications using variable-spaced type. The pre-eminent
authority is the Chicago Manual of Style. For the authoritative answer
on this question, see

.
Pick up and examine any _professionally_ published book, magazine, or
newspaper and you won't find double spaces, nor will you find commas or
periods standing outside the double quotes.
It is definitely not "webism," which repeats, over and over again, the
worst mistakes of common English grammar and punctuation.

What troubles me about the Mediawiki editor is not the small feature set,
but the lack of double spaces between sentences. This "webism" forces me to
use M$ Word in the library, which scans for this writing error.
I read that there had been problems, so I went to the Moxiecode owned
Mediawiki, and the Moxie coders have not themselves implemented it there,
so....
