I was hoping for rigorous studies rather than opinions as I have plenty of those myself :) Thank you for taking the time to respond, though. I had not heard the columns-as-line-separators argument before, but I'm not sure I buy it as most books are justified but do not use multiple columns. > with tons of displays we can't be sure how the text will look fully justified. This argument could be applied to ragged text, too. Are you saying that you can't be sure how it looks and therefore you can't justify it? The answer then seems to simply be "compute the layout on the client", as is done anyway.

There is none I'm aware of, but there are some quotes though :) I think we have justified text because of historic reason, it doesn't make much use on the web since it's a totally new medium. > Are you saying that you can't be sure how it looks and therefore you can't justify it? No, I'm saying it's unpredictable so we should avoid using it, while left aligned text is the default that works best in any circumstance.
