Reading this makes me think it might be generally beneficial to finally convey the semantics of sentence boundaries to the resulting output as well, like some `<p><span>Sentence #1.</span> <span>Sentence #2.</span>` wrappers: it would introduce possibility (for author or user) to break it into lines again or apply any other styling, and might improve interaction (think: select single sentence), or some further processing or contextual styling (think "make all single-sentence paragraphs stand out".)
Strange there is no truly "semantic" way to mark-up sub-paragraph chunk of text in HTML; all 'inline' tags are intended for "words" or for including several sentences at once (like emphasis, quote, code, sample, mark, etc.). I have some murky memory I've read some discussion explaining that the concept of "sentence" is quite problematic and in no way universal, but cannot dig it up now.
(This comment started as But how are we supposed to sneak our beloved double spaces between sentences in the output now? semi-pun, but after all, this post-processing idea answers it.)
