Actually, what I wish is that I could separate the "recognition"
functionality (M-a, M-e, fill, etc) of sentence-end-double-space from
the "canonicalize" functionality (in fill).

This is because I often edit text written by other people.  I'd like M-a
and M-e to continue working on their text (even though personally prefer
to use two spaces), and indeed, I'd like filling to recognize those
single-space ends of sentences and replace them with two spaces (it
currently can only do the reverse).

Of course this would work better with a more intelligent recognition of
single-space sentence ends, as you mention.
