Horrible though the span thing is, it does at least leave control

Not a big difference? Unnecessary spans wrapped around every sentence
in your content seems a _little_ bit different to plain content with
post-processing done by Javascript

BarneyThere is effectively no semantic difference. To stop the spread of grey goo on the net, the only semantics we shoud be worried about are those which are picked up by search engines, and a means equally as little as to these. It is also of little consequence to user agents if implemented
Which is semantically worse, and why?
1. Just manually putting the extra space in the markup.
2. Manually putting an extra inline element around the full stop and
styling said element to create a presentational space.
To me, they seem just as bad as each other - in the first instance

I catch your point Nick, the solution with is
probably the best, but I have to point that using double space after
sentence is completely wrong. It is not “old school”—it is “bad

Thanks for that. I see what you mean about the space at the end of the
line in para 2, but the content won't be justified on the site so
shouldn't be an issue.

Have they said why? Or indicated how big a unit a single space is
