Here's the PrinceXML property in action. It finds a period followed by a space, and replaces it with a period followed by an em-space (U+2003). PDF of the result attached. 


```css
p.space {
  prince-text-replace: ". " ".\2003";
}
```

This has lots of problems, not least because you can't define under what context the replacements happen.
