I've run in to this as well.  However, depending on the context, the
punctuation might be . , ; ! : or whatever.  I don't see how LaTeX could
guess this from the context.

Easier would be to define yourself (or in the appropriate journal class;
perhaps that discussion will rear its ugly head again soon) things like
\period, \comma and so on which you could stick in before the
\end{equation}.  You could define them to correspond to their names or
just to do nothing as the style required.

My opinions are not necessarily those of NRAL or the University of Manchester.
