I used a pair of 130 mm Shimano 105 hubs in a 135 spaced frame by adding 2 mm of spacers to each side of the axle. No re-dishing was needed, it worked fine. There's a bit less axle in the dropout but that makes no difference, as Sheldon pointed out the wheel is held by the locknut and skewer faces. It's also easily reversible.
I wouldn't bother respacing the frame. My Riv Road was spaced 128 (to accept 126 or 130 hubs), and I think it's kind of a pain.
