Thanks, Hans. I simplified the test file. \mainlanguage[en] \unexpanded\def\ {\mathortext\normalspaceprimitive\space} \starttext A. E. Samuels. A.\ E.\ Samuels. \stoptext Do you see the required difference at your end? On my screen, the two lines look exactly the same (regardless of the length of the paragraphs).

Unfortunately, I do not see any effect in the output (under MKII). The space after a period looks the same as the space after “.\ ”, though it should be bigger.
use \break instead, \crlf does a \hfill since there is no need for stretch when using crlf
