Hello,
I noticed that M-a and M-e aren't useful for navigating the contents of
eww buffers (in particular, in readable mode). I wonder if shr could
ensure that there are two spaces between sentences so that they do?
It is nice to be able to use these commands when you want to copy text
from the webpage to quote it.

Why not just set sentence-end-double-space buffer-locally?

shr can't possibly tell whether, e. g., those "." characters ended a
sentence or not, so adding a space after all dots would be nonsensical.
Like Basil says, if you want to change the behaviour here, set
sentence-end-double-space to nil in the relevant buffers.
So I'm closing this bug report.

Would this be true even in readable mode?

Why doesn't eww-mode do this by default?

It's a user-level option, I think?

I'm sorry -- what you do mean by "readable mode"?

I suppose it's not really a mode, but I mean the state you get into
after invoking eww-readable.

The eww-readable command isn't able to guess whether "e. g." ends a
sentence more than any other part of Emacs.
