I foolishly used the term "full stop", thinking wrongly that
it meant end of sentence.  Am American, not British, and "full
stop" is a Britishism, I believe.

What I did mean is that the end of a sentence should be followed
by two spaces.  But (stupid me) somehow thought that we could
detect that.  Only if there is some character that means
end-of-sentence in some fancy char-set, or "period as end of
sentence", "exclamation as end of sentence", etc.

Obviously, all my blather about emacs etc should be directed
to the AUTHORS of the text, not to us!

(It is not even late in the day; I have no excuse at all.)
