After looking at Emacs TUTORIAL files that set sentence-end-double-space
to nil for some languages, I got the impression that different languages
have special conventions about spacing after full stop in fixed-width fonts.
But it seems there are no standards for using double-space, and this is
rather a matter of taste.

However, I think some other sentence-related options may depend on
language environments, namely `sentence-end-without-period' and
`sentence-end-without-space' whose values should conform to the rules
of punctuation.
