Precisely that. The default,
comma, is best for regular books published in English.
Rules regarding use of periods in honorific abbreviations is one of those US/CA v UK/AU/NZ differences.
Most US style guides (except medical) mandate a period behind them all, so… Mr. Smith, Ms. Jones, Dr. Watson, Prof. Levy etc.
Most UK style guides mandate a period only if the last letter of the abbreviation is
not the same as the full word, so… Mr Smith, Ms Jones, Dr Watson, Prof. Levy etc.
There is a definite trend outside the US to drop them entirely.
