This actually makes things more sensible, especially where it's not a
complete thought, but more of an "example".  <-- Like that.  There's not
enough of a proper phrase and certainly not a sentence, and this also fits
things like titles that come at the end of a sentence, where it just never
looked right the American way, but this rational punctuation of which you
speak seems to fit just fine.  And it makes all things uniform.  I dig it.

Interesting, as I'd not heard of this concept before now.

Think I'll adopt it, though.
