In Emacs, the paragraph reflow commands still try to keep a period followed by only one space together on a line, under the assumption that it might be something like `Dr. Brett Cannon`. A reasonable HTML generator should ignore the second space. So all in all I still like the two-space rule -- not so much for readability but because of tooling.
