So, there we go. There's one way an app preserves double spaces after periods in HTML.

Yep. As I noted in a previous post, my epub export will do that for me (but sensibly uses   not 0xa0), however nbsp upsets justification (you get unexpected dents in the justification). I suspect any non-standard whitespace may result in the same visual disruption, but haven't played around to see if any are smart enough to deal with other Unicode space characters.
