Re: upper case in command and end of sentence

    Is it for every command or only code-like commands?  I think the
    that for text commands in general (like @strong, @emph, @asis...) a
    period after the command closing should lead to a double space.  

I guess so.  Right now, those commands don't change the \spacefactor in
texinfo.tex, but it could be done.

    For code like command I would favor the reverse.  

I don't think that would be right.  1) The behavior for a long time has
been that  @code{FOO}. Whatever  leads to a double (sentence) space.  
2) And this makes sense, since the @code arg is presumably an all-caps
identifier of some sort (not somebody's initials).

    Maybe for @var too.

Well, people shouldn't be using all-caps inside @var anyway.
But if they do, I suppose it should follow all the others.
