Are you sure this is not related to language and culture? I can't recall 
seeing such double spaces in German texts - but I don't have any 
relevant books at hand to check. I'd assume it's similar to English 
texts (traditionally but less nowadays) having wider space after 
punctuation (LaTeX's default) while for German I'd use \frenchspacing 
exclusively.
