Do you wish to maintain the opposite, that the extra whitespace makes

Oh no, and that wasn't my point.
You said that the Emacs default is to require users to use double
spacing "because AFAIK it's still Chicago Manual of Style-standard to
follow a
sentence-ending period with two spaces".
Now I've quoted the Chicago manual of style from the Wikipedia entry,
saying the exact opposite.
By your logic, Emacs would have to adopt a different default then.
That said, while I do believe that the double-spacing is an
improvement to readability, I want to be able to edit other people's
texts. (It is an useless attitude to impose on users a writing style
uncommon outside the U.S.--crippling the M-e / M-a features does not
help anyone.)
