It's easy to get halfway there, with a reader that scrolls. Doing pagination in a normally scrolling browser window is a good bit harder. There are CSS tricks that might make it feasible to at least support full justification on the last line of the page, but it would still be a lot of code to handle splitting paragraphs correctly.
