Right, which is fine with me.  My copy of xml2rfcv1 also does sentence spacing, pretty much on the model that I described.

My point is that nothing in XML or existing specifications speaks against sentence detection and sentence spacing.  The setting of xml:space is completely irrelevant, as the handling of whitespace is left to the application in either case.

(This does not prejudice whether we want to do sentence spacing in the future, of course.)
