Having hacked a few document parsers, I'd have thought that having two spaces 
between sentences would be more useful than not.

Is there really any sensible practical reason why there should be a rule to 
limit sentence spacing to one space ?   Don't see that it's likely to produce 
any greater legibility or increase comprehension....
