Thanks, but that doesn't change the spacing, in my environment at least. (I use texlive-context on the testing distribution of Debian.) I think the command "\ " inserts an inter-word spacing, not an inter-sentence spacing. You can compare whether USA.\ This is another sentence gives the same result as USA\spacefactor1000. This is another sentence I know there is a typographic style where the inter-word and inter-sentence spacings are the same. But, by default, ConTeXt uses a larger inter-sentence spacing than the inter-word spacing. In such a case, there has to be a means to indicate an inter-sentence spacing when a sentence ends with a capital letter and a period.
