True, but then there needs to be a way to enable/disable it, since
even if you never use two spaces after a period, the rule can still
generate them for you in the output: when an input sentence ends at
the end of a line but the output sentence doesn't, the rule will
translate the newline into two spaces instead of one.

I vote to have it off by default.
