In my office it's always one space. The reasoning I'm always given is along the lines above. The 2 spaces was for old typewriters and word processing, but now we only need one. When you see two spaces in a doc now I think the extra space looks odd and doesn't make it any easier to read. It's also considered "old-fashioned" in my comapny's industry (brand strategy).
