Correct - since this was not widely supported (and still isn't)
as of early `96.

We will only get browsers with support for text justification if people
are prepared to put in considerable effort and expense into developing
and widely deploying browsers with this feature. To get high quality
results this would have to be combined with hyphenation. I expect that
this will come eventually, but it is certainly not viewed as the highest
priority for vendors I have spoken with at this point.
