The situation is even worse.  I've recently read a novel where
(particularly noticeable in tightened-up lines) the space
after a sentence-period was *reduced* compared to the normal
word-spacing on the same line.  It appears the attitude is that
all the empty space above the period is already room enough.
Sheesh.
