But that could mean many things. For example, TeX doesn't care how
many spaces you type in the source file; it will typeset the correct
end-of-sentence-size space anyway.
My understanding is that the two space convention is for fixed-width
computer presentation, such as in Info. Many people seem to think
that two spaces look better in that context.
(Personally I always notice how browser-rendered text looks wrong in
this respect - because HTML (like TeX) doesn't care how many spaces
there are in the source, but the browsers (unlike TeX) don't leave a
little extra width at the end of a sentence.)

Neil
