I am a typography nerd, so naturally I love this. I also think it would be most useful with text set in full justification, where you have your text in a nice rectangle and punctuation sticking out destroys the aesthetics.
If full justification is helpful in general is another question but it certainly is out of fashion now.
If full justification is possible at all with the currently used browser rendering pipelines is yet another interesting questions. Intuitively I would have assumed so, but I remember past discussions here on HN that convinced me that this is not easy at all.
EDIT:
I liked the HN thread I was referring to below. I think good full justification needs Knuth-Plass but don't know enough to be sure.
