RE: [css3-text] text-justify:distribute behavior

I think I understand now. So,
  text-align-last: center justify;
changes the fallback alignment of all lines, not only the last line, right? I assumed it affects only to the last line and thus was wondering how to change the rests.

It works then. I personally prefer starting from minimum and then add features incrementally as needs come in, so changing the behavior of "distribute" looks more appealing to me. I like less tests.

But your proposal works good and fulfill the requirements too. Either works for me.

text-align-last is used as the fallback alignment when there are no expansion opportunities in the line. By the definition I gave above, setting it to 'justify' would center the text when text-justify is 'distribute'.

Ok, that might require a later reply then. Baking takes time. :P
