Do you put a comma after "that is"? Either way, it feels right.
I'd be
inclined to say "don't stick a comma after a full stop", and yes
I know
that the dot isn't really a full stop at this point but the
sequence
"dot comma" still feels wrong.
Of course, we might want to consider (for the sake
of non-native english speakers) actually deprecating
both i.e. and e.g., and replacing them with
"that is" and "for example".
I agree with this. A comma after "i.e." looks definitely
wrong to me as an English English speaker, but it's correct
after "that is". So if a change is to be made let's go
for the full English expansions, with commas.
