Note that a 13th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, copyright
1982, does not speak of end of line spaces for regular text, but its
physical embodiment puts more space after a sentence than between
words within a sentence. (I have not seen a more recent Chicago
Manual of Style, physical or otherwise.)
But whatever the manual says, why impose on the user?
As of this morning, 2008 Feb 14, we see in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_spacing
this:
* "rivers" of whitespace do not distract readers
* widened spaces between sentences improve reader
comprehension and reader comfort
Unusually for sociological research -- extraordinarily so -- no
valid or even scientific studies have materially contradicted
these findings.
