Grammar dictates that any sentence, with the exception of the first in the paragraph, must have two leading spaces. This might be a good addition

The double space after a period is legacy from monospaced fonts on typewriters and is not recommended for use with modern proportional-width fonts.
Further, HTML requires browsers to collapse all adjacent spacing to a single space. So even if I inserted an extra space, it would just disappear. I suppose I could insert a no-break space (these don't collapse), but given the above, that seems unnecessary.
See http://www.itcfonts.com/Ulc/4111/DoubleSpaces.htm for more information.
