typography - Double space acceptable after period before abbreviated title?


It seems accepted amongst typographers that the double space after a period is a dated artifact of monospace typewriters, but is it acceptable to use a double space in between sentences like:

I trust Dr. Wang.  Dr. Wang is very experienced.
