I'm tempted to add periods anyway, now.  The texinfo manual
clearly states that we should do this (I only looked at the
earlier sections in that chapter before), and "technical
limitations" makes a much stronger argument than "well, in some
languages it seemed stylistically better to omit it, but in other
languages it seemed stylistically better to include it".
