A special command 'repunctuate-sentences' that uses 'query-replace' is required for the value 'sentence-end-double-space' because replacements from 1 space to 2 spaces are ambiguous (e.g. such text as "e.g." still require 1 space after the period), therefore the command should query every replacement. OTOH, the reverse replacement from 2 to 1 space is quite straightforward.
