The argument for double-spacing between sentences is that the inter-sentence gap needs to be larger than the inter-word gap. To single-space after a period makes the inter-word gap and the inter-sentence gap identical.

to which I would note that I was taught that the reason for double spacing after the dot after a sentence was to make it easy for the reader to distinguish between the dot as a signal for an abreviation ("Mr. Smith"), and the dot as a signal for a full stop.
