Indeed, the proper format is two spaces after a period. As a matter of fact... I just hit it twice without even thinking about it.
I've discussed this with Frankie a few times. I used to habitually double space between sentences, but he looked at me as if he wanted to rip the spacebar off of my keyboard and stab me in the eye with it.
During whichever year of school it was that we learn how many spaces you use after a sentence, I was taught by that specific teacher that double is correct. I've used it in all of my papers since then, and no one has ever bothered me about it.. I assumed it was correct.
I do double spaces after periods anyway, and the fact that it doesn't register isn't a large problem with me.
Again, having logged my hours in the English department at University, I was never once by any professor; asked to double space following a period.
It simply isn't necessary anymore.
