One option just occurred to me...via server-side code, you could search
for every period and replace it with:
<span class="frenchSpace">.</span>
Then, in your css, you could give that a padding-right of say, 1em. That
should give you what you want without the issue of the indents.
Granted, it's still not proper typography IMHO. ;o)
