The three best alternatives so far: * Treat every dot as an end-of-sentence unless it is immediately followed by an <neos/> ("not end-of-sentence"). * Mark abbreviation dots, if followed by whitespace, with an immediately following ​ (zero width space). [It would be prettier to mark end-of-sentence dots this way, but this would be much more invasive.] * Mark abbreviations with <abbrev>e.g.</abbrev>. The cleanest solution, but in my special case *much* more difficult to implement than the other two, because I have an input stream to convert to XML, and when I see the dot it's already to late for inserting a tag.
