Don,
Thanks for putting us on the right track.
While, I, too, felt there was a certain kind of elegance to containing that, otherwise, dangling period inside quote marks, I have found that with modern content, this convention could cause confusion. When writing out how a user name should appear, I realized that putting the period inside my quote marks could make it seem as though the period should be included in the user name.
Most of the British novels I read are written with such elegance that I am willing to accept the notion my fondness for our own conventions might be a bit parochial.
I wonder what others think,
Gregg
