Most of these suggestions are pretty good, but a few of them are questionable:1. Using xspace is generally a bad idea since it's unpredictable [0]. My personal preference is to add a mandatory delimiter as suggested by The TeXbook:
For example, the author might have said
\def\TeX/{...}
instead of defining \TeX without the slash. Then it would be necessary to type \TeX/
each time the TeX logo is desired, but the new definition would have the advantage that
spaces are not ignored after ‘\TeX/’. You can use this idea to define macros that are
intended to be used in sentences, so that users don’t have to worry about the possible
disappearance of spaces.
3. "\leavevmode \\" is almost always a bad idea in body text [1], but the theorem environments are pretty weird, so there are no great alternatives here. "\leavevmode\par\noindent" is probably a better choice, but it's still fairly ugly.
