You guys are funny. All this talk about why justification on most readers is terrible and not a single one of you experts has mentioned the single largest factor -- most readers don't have hyphenation algorithms (the H in H&J -- there's a reason why they go together). Being able to move blocks of 2, 3, 4+ letters to short lines would make a huge difference in the word spacing problem.

Also, many of you seem to be hung up on kerning. While kerning would come into play in some instances, tracking would have a much larger influence on the overall appearance (kerning refers to spacing between individual letter pairs, while tracking refers to the spacing over whole lines or blocks of letters).
