I don't use Latin punctuation marks in Sanskrit so I couldn't test  
their behaviour, but the desired space now appears before danda and  
double danda. Thanks for this new feature, François.

Incidentally, I've uploaded a modified version of sanhyph.tex which  
will work with Polyglossia (but not with Babel anymore), but I think  
it won't appear on CTAN until Polyglossia is publicly released. If  
some members of the list want to test it, here it is.

Best wishes,

Yves
