Here's a link that deals with the issue. It gives a decent set of cases
for programmatically identifying whether a period ends a sentence.

well hidden I'm afraid ...
Can you explain why you need to make this distinction? [...]
After a sentence, a bigger skip should be inserted (in certain
languages). This distinction in made by TeX, and I write an XML to
LaTeX converter. I need a way to preserve the end-of-sentence
information in the XML markup. There are a couple of ways of
course, all of which more or less inelegant.
I just want to know whether there is already a way to express that,
so that I avoid re-inventing it.
Tschö,
Torsten.
