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.
