If the PEP is displayed as HTML, then one or two spaces after a period
in plain text might not matter; any browser that I've bothered to check
visually merges space characters unless they are intermixed/replaced
with non-breaking space (&nbsp;). If ReStructured Text converts to
non-breaking space, then they matter.

In terms of text text editing, I think that as long as one is consistant
within a document, that's good enough.
