This was my first reaction too, but after some thinking I can't
imagine a situation where you *really* want to prevent a line break
after two or periods. The very reason to suppress line breaking is
only to have a correct handling of abbreviated names like J. User.
IMHO we should consider the case `period/question mark/exclamation
mark + single space' as the exception which prevents a break, and
everything else should allow it. Doing the opposite (this is,
always insist on two spaces after those punctuation marks) appears
unnatural to me.
