declare:

i   {padding-right : 1em;   }

then use <i>.</i> in the text.

I doubt that anyone can spot an italicised period. .  :-) !

Sorry to break this for you, but...
actually all the people using text-browsers would spot it
quite easily. Because you can't display italicised text on
a terminal screen, most text-browsers use color instead.

For example Lynx shows text inside <i> in blue color.
If you mark up you line endings with <i>, then the text
ceartanly looks cool in Lynx, with those shining blue periods
littered all over the page, like stars at night :)
But it hardly aids readability.

As much as I know, this double-space-after-period-thingy
is considered by some more legible especially in monospaced
text. &nbsp; would make that effect also visible in text-
browsers.

PS. I would just avoid the whole double-space problem by
    writing text in a way most of the people do. But I don't
    want to get into that kind of discussion.
