Keep in mind that in languages other than English/Roman,
justification can involve methods other than simply adding inter-word
spacing (eg. Arabic extends character widths). In fact, some
languages don't have a concept of inter-word spacing (eg. Japanese).
And then there is always the issues of having RTL (right to left)
text inside an LTR paragraph - but AbiWord isn't ready for those yet
;).
