The irony is that we've spent decades and quite some resources to perfect fixed text layout in general and text justification in particular (the immaculate rectangle with homogenous gray values, hanging punctuation, all that jazz) only to find:

1. Fixed layout isn't gonna cut it

2. Justification isn't that important anyways

To anyone who came of age on the internet in the last three decades justified text just looks strange. I say that coming from the typography nerd camp. No matter if we like it or not, in the end flush left and flush right has lost and it will not come back regardless what browsers implement.
