Justified text ends up looking very ugly unless the layout engine is also
capable of doing automatic hyphenation of words - without hyphenation, if
you have a long word that gets pushed to the next line, you get huge whitespace
gaps between words.

More specific to the libvirt site - it looks very odd to have <p>
justified, but nothing else - eg looking at formatdomain.html, we end
up with a mix of justified and non-justified text, depending on whether
we've used a <li>, <dl> or <p> for the particular bit of docs.

Regards,
Daniel
