Plus, you need to set some sort of threshold; a line which only has a few words on it ends up looking very spaced out, like this.
Not possible to specify an explicit threshold on our side (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#alignment-prop). Browsers will of course pick some sensible value, but that traditionally applies only to lines immediately preceding a line break, not lines in the middle of text. Those can consist of even two words, I think, separated by nearly a line of whitespace, if sufficiently long words came before and after. Again, that's what hyphenation is for, but no browser I know of hyphenates in real time as of now.
