Or a tab! Ducks.

  Since you suggest that route, a semantic differentiator between inter-word, inter-element (e.g., "Dr. Gupta", "Sr. Director"), inter-sentence, and inter-paragraph whitespace could be argued for. We already have spaces, tabs, and non-breaking spaces (" " in HTML), for example. ASCII already has a number of field-specific terminators: STX, ETX, EOF, LF, FF, FS, GS, RS, US, etc. Though those tend to be little used. In terms of ease of use, existing standards, and ready interpretation, a doubled space as an inter-sentence indicator has numerous benefits.
