For example, TeX doesn't care how many spaces you type in the source file; it will typeset the correct end-of-sentence-size space anyway. My understanding is that the two space convention is for fixed-width computer presentation, such as in Info. Many people seem to think that two spaces look better in that context. (Personally I always notice how browser-rendered text looks wrong in this respect - because HTML (like TeX) doesn't care how many spaces there are in the source, but the browsers (unlike TeX) don't leave a little extra width at the end of a sentence.)
