This would be rather silly, but what it means is:
* the first priority of justification is stretching inter-word
spacing. (But since inter-word spaces are not stretchable,
nothing happens in this step.)
* the second priority of justification is stretching spacing
everywhere else. Since none of the extra space was absorbed
in the first step, this effectively means letter-spacing
is used for justification.
