There are examples in the User Guide where you can see when we need the end of
sentence period.
> Shouldn't the special character instead be "not end of sentance period"
Similarly, there are situations where we need a "not end of sentence period",
and this is still missing. There must be a better way than ".\" for this? I
fear that combination will cause trouble when used in the wrong situations.
I'm no LaTeX guru, but I could imagine that it would be simple to come up with
a malicious character that will break things if it follows a backslash...

I'll keep John's reference doc on the matter so that LyX can be more
intelligent (although bits of the spec are a bit Americentric), and maybe we'll
see what we can do for 1.0.1, but it'll probably be 1.1.x stuff, and most
certainly not for 1.0.0. I haven't read everything in detail, but it seems
that it should be possible to come up with something good, though. (I'm
reading a book about fuzzy logic at the moment, and it could be fun to use this
technique on this problem, just to see if it would work.)
