It is not allowed. You're supposed to leave the body text alignment unset (so that the e-reader can toggle left/full justification based on the reader's preference).

I quoted the rule above, but again:

Quote:
"Normal" text must not have a forced alignment (left aligned or justified). "Normal" text must not have a forced line-height attribute, either.

I really don't understand why an author would try to circumvent this; the rule is there for good reason, and obeying it only makes things better for the reader.
