The mention of spaces between the periods is interesting, especially considering that there is a Unicode character & hellip; or & #8239; which has all three dots with only thin spaces between them. The sentence ending full stop could of course come on either side of the ellipsis.
BTW, I think I recall seeing a vertical ellipsis character, but I don't know how it might be used and I'm too lazy to look it up. Pretty sure it's in The Unicode Book.
