Comment:

 Reopening. I think this makes for an inferior reading experience. The rule
 with justification is that you should do it when you have a lot of words
 on the line, such that the spacing adjustment will be a small part of the
 overall line length. When there are only a few words on the line, you
 should do ragged-right, else you end up with huge ugly spaces between
 words.

 See:

 (ignore the colors — added via child theme)

 "wonderful Inconsolata open"
 "post-WordCamp SF hacking"

 Ragged-right:

 I suggest that "justify" be limited to 600px and above, where the
 justification doesn't result in such drastic word spacing.
