Re: Proposed ::last-line and ::last-letter selectors

The CSS3-text proposal adds the "text-align-last" attribute to  
justify the last line of text in a paragraph. This is useful if your  
text is being split into columns and you don't want the last line  
left-aligned - which, regardless of what you want, is the normal  
practice as Boris and others have said. See http://www.w3.org/TR/css3- 
text/#text-align-last

Except for this case, I can't think of any reason why the last line  
of a paragraph would ever be handled differently simply because it's  
the last line, and therefore no reason why this rule would ever be used.

Cheers... Mike
