FWIW,
In Colombia there is a set of technical norms that follow closely the
ISO standards on written documention. The latest standard I checked
clearly states that two spaces should be used following a period or a
colon.
This standards only apply to written dissertations and academic reports.
On daily life no one uses them besices, they are not ecologically sound.
In recent years the engineering library is also having space problems so
they are asking people to print on both sides of the paper sheets.
cheers,
Pedro.
