I tried that with two fonts in an up-to-date TeX Live 2008 and in pre- 
test TeX Live 2009. Both behave the same way, they don't add too much  
space after punctuation, IMO ('though it looks as if \frenchspacing  
seems to add more space – but it's actually glue). You should give a  
small example and also try other mono-spaced fonts to see how they  
behave.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something  
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete  
fools.
