Start a new sentence at a new line (is this a "law" or just a good

It's a good idea.
I thought so. It is diff- and therefore cvs-friendly.
Additionally, there's a difference between
foo. bar
and
foo. bar
The latter is the usual style with, say, emacs, so that it can easily
find the end of a sentence (using a regular expression for searching)
without stopping at abbreviations. With groff, you should do this too
(this is, using two spaces after a full stop indicating a sentence
ending) -- the second space is handled specially; cf. the
documentation of the `.ss' request.
Thus
foo.
bar
is equivalent to
foo. bar
The reason I don't see a difference after changing from "foo. bar" to
"foo.\nbar" is the
.ss 12 0
request in de.tmac. (Which is in fr.tmac as well.)
I think I should point this out.
