 "text-align:justify", without a working "text-justify" property, is very
 often ugly when the average number of characters is less than about 60.

 When most browsers, especially those typically used on small screens,
 supports advanced text-justify, stretching both character widths and
 character spacing, then "text-align:justify" may be used also for small
 screen widths. I don't get this CSS3 property working, so I revert all
 "justify" to "left" when the text box width probably holds less than 60
 characters per line, in my responsive stylesheets.

 But "justify" makes sense when there are columns, especially when there is
 no vertical ruler and/or little space between the columns. The text edge
 then defines the column edge nicely, as in newspapers. As long as the
 column spacing is generous, as in Twenty Twelve, and/or have a ruler
 (Twenty Twelve don't), then  I agree with scribu: Don't use "justify".

 On narrow screens the columns should even collapse (disappear). This is
 another reason for not using "justify" in that case.
