Actually I think using & nbsp; is a lot better since that's the only
solution that goes to print.

Print stylesheet, anyone?

I'd argue non breaking spaces are better if you're trying to automate
it, because catching double spaces and making them " &#160;" or "
&nbsp;" is generally lots safer than trying to catch periods -- "i.e.
blah" becomes "i.e.  blah" if you're checking for ". " or, if you're
just searching for periods, "i. e.  blah" which is just getting
ridiculous. But that has little to do with markup and everything to do
with server side fun (fun, but not on this list), so I'll leave it
alone for now.
