I think this is INVALID. As far as I can see neither HTML nor CSS (< 3) says
anything about the last line of a justified block. However, the modern Western
typographical convention seems to be that the last line of a left-to-right
paragraph is aligned left with no stretching, and this is what I would expect to
see in the absence of a text-align-last property.

Correct. A 'text-align-last' property will be introduced in CSS3.
