People who don't care for this distinction can write 

   "A quotation ending without punctuation" [cite: @hoel-71-whole].
   "A quotation ending with a period" [cite: @hoel-71-whole].

So I guess the default doesn't matter in this case?

Actual usage may tell. I implemented the spacing-tweak in
"wip-cite-new". You (and others) may want to try it out on real
documents and see if it feels somewhat natural.
