It mentions it under the 'direction' property: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#propdef-direction '[it specifies] the position of an incomplete last line in a block in case of "text-align: justify".' I think 'last' may be superfluous there, but that's another issue; it would indeed be good if all these issues were explicitly discussed in the section on 'text-align'.
