I didn't know that was part of the standard, but I can give the
rationale:
The Emacs forward- and backward-sentence commands (M-e and M-a) expect
to see two spaces after a full stop, to help them distinguish a period
after an abbreviation from a period marking the end of a sentence.
It's really handy to have those commands work on comments.
