 [regular space]    would work too, but stops the line from breaking after sentences. Not that its a good idea... But that's how you'd do it :)

  How could you use the innocent non-breaking space for such evil? More seriously - is anything like that used in the wild? I'm just trying to figure out why they gave a suggestion to stop doing something that it takes such improbable work-arounds to do in the first place. Double-spacing after sentences sticks out like a sore thumb in proportional fonts.

    I seem to remember seeing a WYSIWYG text editor add those nbsps when there was more than one space in a row, but I could be mistaken.

      Yes, at least some of them do.

        Leaving some clients to use nbsps in place of tables or tabs to try and layout columns, bullet lists, etc. Eek!

    I think there might be Wordpress addons that do this. It looks like Patrick's blog (http://www.kalzumeus.com/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/) uses one and I've seen a few other blogs with the same thing. It's annoying.
