I think it makes sense that eventually people will stop using double space after
these punctuation marks, but until that change is universally (and I do mean
universally) accepted I think there needs to be an option that flips from one
style to the other.  I know there are teachers in high school and college that
would mark down their students' papers for having only one space after a period.

It would be great if we all used the metric system as well, but we don't.  The
right way to deal with this kind of situation is to allow for both styles. 
After all, openoffice.org does not require its users to use a4 paper instead of
"letter," right?  Similarly, regardless of how much sense it makes, it shouldn't
autocorrect users' intended spacing style without giving them the option of
using their preferred style.
