A candidate for a sentence boundary is a word boundary
(plus some other conditions). This was at least my thought
process leading to that suggestion. It might be a bad
suggestion, though.

You're welcome. Note that [:punct:] may be too broad a category:
does a sentence end with a comma? A semi-colon? A colon? What
about question and exclamation marks? What about the latter in
a language like Spanish, where they're parenthetical: "Ella
me preguntó ¿qué quieres?" (the parenthetical things make it
much easier to embed a question or an exclamation into something
else).

As always, the really interesting questions are left as exercises to
the reader... until you end with Natural Language Processing :-)

Possibly this is the danger Tomas Hlavaty is hinting at elsethread.

C'm on. Wetware caches are like that. Mine too.
