List: What method should one use to code whitespace after a period as being sentence-ending, not midsentence, when not employing French spacing?
Hi Henry,
not sure I’m getting your point, since this is also a question of perspective.
What may be named “French spacing” in English may be considered as “English spacing” in any other European language.
But this is pure TeX (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/teximpatient.git/plain/teximpatient/book.p...):
\starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] PhD. Next sentence
PhD\null. Next sentence \stopTEXpage \stoptext
I think this may be what you want.

Would you be so kind to update the wiki?
I hope it helps, Assuming that you document it I'll add
