Kudos on that post. I intend to catch up Soon™.

Edit: Oh, and trust me on this: I'm extremely picky about typography, maybe as picky as you, if not more! This is not meant as an offensive comment. I think there are very few of us left. I'm always happy when I find another one...
At least three in the WO. Be happy!

Enjoy:
I intended to ask for this long ago. Yesterday, in the Wall Observer, a mathematically inclined connoisseur of fine typography incited me to speak up for LATEX-lovers and other TEXnicians. So yes, there is demand for this!
On a related note:
Satoshi uses British English and inserts two spaces between sentences.
I believe we may safely presume that Satoshi would appreciate proper spacing.
