Yes, this come from old typewriter formatting. It is also visually
pleasing. The colon also takes two spaces.

When I was in
the 8th grade, one of the courses we were required to take was
in typing. I've never gotten particularly good at it, but I did learn that
a period at the end of a sentence is followed by two spaces, for example.
Thank you very much. So it seams there is a 'school' forcing this in
the US .... and I always wondered why some people add two spaces after
a period. There's even a very old 'text beautyfier' for DOS which
inserted this (for my eyes) stupid spaces. Well, I guess CC is no
only the hardwarae :=)
