you could also apply a style to make the period not be italicised too.
Maybe I missed the point, but why not use in this case?
I thought the idea was that the text was being inserted without formatting, and
that the author is
looking for a way to apply two spaces to "as typed" text that otherwise is
having whitespace
compressed. The first 3 thoughts I had would not work. I then went to using
unobtrusive
javascript to "fix" the markup after it's delivered to the browser, (assuming
server-side
intervention is not possible) but that is definately not a CSS solution.
