Also for Italian, and, AFAIK, Spanish. I suspect that most languages do
not use a larger space at the end of a sentence.

By the way, here are some little corrections to do in standard.ld (the
line commented out is the one which actually appears in the file):

#    Italian    @Yield { Contenuto }
    Italian     @Yield { Indice }
#    Italian    @Yield { Elenco delle Figure }
    Italian     @Yield { Elenco delle figure }
#    Italian    @Yield { Elenco delle Tabelle }
    Italian     @Yield { Elenco delle tabelle }
#    Italian    @Yield { ?? }
    Italian     @Yield { Abbreviazioni }
#    Italian    @Yield { Lecture }
    Italian     @Yield { Conferenza }
#    Italian    @Yield { @Char ae }
    Italian     @Yield { @Char ?? }
#    Italian    @Yield { @Char AE }
    Italian     @Yield { @Char ?? }
#    Italian    @Yield { @address@hidden }
    Italian     @Yield { @ShortHour:@Minute }
