Once again I just got my mind confused.  What I propose is:

@commands like @emph, @asis... do not change anything compared with 
text.  A period after a lower-case letter leads to double spacing,
after an upper case letter simple spacing.

For code like commands and @var followed by a period, there is always a 
double spacing, whether the last letter is upper case or not.

One question remains: for period within a code like command, like
  @samp{some. Good}
should there be a double space after the period?
