Well, the lack of typographic control - hyphenation in particular -
is the reason why I regard justified text as "plain bad" on the web.
There is no way I would use it anywhere where I can't control the
hyphenation and the text flow.
I was trying to keep my comments short, that's why I may have
generalized a bit. No need to discuss typographic theory in this
thread, right?
I guess the actual question is: do we really want to use justified
text in this theme? I say no.
