If one space was good enough for Yuri Gagarin,
it's good enough for me ;-)

The last year has consumed almost all the fucks I have...don't think I'll expend any on this issue.

I dunno, based on this write-up it sounds like habitual one-spacers are more flexible and do equally well either way. So really the only reason to use two is to help the portion of the public who've handicapped themselves. That's not much of a reason in my book...

To put 2 spaces after a period in HTML you need to use a non-blanking space. There is an HTML entity for that, but I'm betting that most people don't know how to use it. (I doubt it is allowed in comments, though I haven't tried.)

Haven't checked to see if you can do this via cascading style sheets, but you would need to differentiate a period from a decimal point and ellipses. One space, two spaces or no spaces. 3.14159... etc. Then there are things like, "This is a quote." (A parenthetical expression would be another case.)
