Really? Was that the question? I didn't understand that that question was being raised. Why shouldn't Emacs support editing files that use _any_ text? Was there an argument against letting one edit such files? Or did you perhaps mean something special (what?) here by "support"? The bug reported was only about Emacs treating the `.' as a sentence end. I think everyone agreed that that's a bug to be fixed ("cf." does not end a sentence, generally). Beyond the bug, the thread discussed the use of "cf." by Emacs's own doc. Yes, that was a change of subject from the bug report. But that was the only real discussion (question) here, I think. Unless I missed someone's argument in favor of two spaces after "cf.".
