[Bf-docboard] Style Suggestion - Double Space after Period?

[gandalf3]

Huh?
You mean, no space like this?

     This is a sentence.This is also a sentence.Why are there no spaces 
here?Who knows.

For me the docs have single spaces, like this:

     "Many factors go into the quality of the rendered image. Rendering 
a scene without changing any of the render settings is     probably 
going to produce a rather unpleasant image."


I've never heard of a no-space-after-periods convention, and I don't 
think I'd like it if I did :P
If there really are no spaces for some users, then it sounds like a bug imo.
