That seems a poor reason to violate standard English. Browsers should REMOVE whitespace after it, like Netscape does. But you're doin' the work, so I can't complain (much). BTW, Harry S Truman's name was not Harry S. Truman (if periods mean anything). He said his middle name was a compromise between the competing names of grandparents. He often used a period in his signature and the "U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual" recommends its use in his name. "The Chicago Manual of Style" suggests use of the period even for single-letter middle names. Cf. http://www.trumanlibrary.org/speriod.htm P.S. Thanks for the reply about "penv".
