The answer is you cannot do what you want with the kepub renderer. There is no way to differentiate between justification that can be overriden and justification that cannot. For certain tags, the kepub renderer overrides this not matter what. The rules the RMSDK follows are different. Which is more correct will depend on your viewpoint. And based on my experience here, people will vigorously support both ways of doing it.

You might be able to fake it somehow with margins or padding or something. But, I suspect you will not be able to get it working the same on all ereaders or apps. Or font sizes. It is similar to the issues with drop-caps. You can fiddle and get it working perfectly, but, change the font size or font, and it falls apart.
