Why not let's define a new character that is only used for ending
sentences (and NEVER for anything else), and that way, you can
just use it, and you won't even have to have even one space 
after it.  Think of all the disk space saved!!!!!  Also, we could
define another one for newline, since it currently takes two characters.
}
#flame-off

I think that two spaces makes it easier to read.  The reason that
newspapers and magazines don't do it is because they want to fit
as much advertising in as possible, so they don't "waste" space.
