I keep the trailing dot only. This is so that if I want to remove the
sentence that's starting after (it's usually {.i} after), I don't have to
move the dot.

e.g. .i do me la .brodas. i mi co'e

If the separation between the two dots is greater, then I'll write them
both. The rationale is that if it's in the same paragraph, it's meant to be
read together, so putting both dots is unnecessary, but if there's some
kind of more significant separation, then someone could presumably start
reading after the separation.

.i mi'e la tsani mu'o
