Hmm. Yes I can see that being annoying. Bleh, I'm not sure what to do
about this space thing at all now. Perhaps: limit to two spaces maximum,
and strip the extra one on output ?

Let's not confuse the paragraph handling with the space thing. We might
have to go for a space solution but I believe my DEPM patch for
paragraphs is OK.

Well, let's be real here, the effects of DEPM have rippled through a
significant part of the tree; you have to admit it's not "just one
function". Whereas a small tweak in the output routines is a million
times more localised.
