My initial take on this was the same as yours. But unicode separators seem
to have been well thought-out (or at least standardized <g>):
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr29/
http://www.unicode.org/Public/6.3.0/ucd/auxiliary/SentenceBreakTest.html
and I think any discussion or arguments should be taken up with the unicode
working group, and not have LC create Yet Another Variation on the way folks
will expect things to work.
