One issue with this feature is that it requires a change in the ODF spec.  I've
been researching on various specifications available from the W3C - mostly on
XSL-FO (which we heavily reference) and CSS Text up to level 3.  So far, CSS
Text Level 3 is the only specification that deals with various methods of text
justifications comprehensively.

With that said, here is the change I'm proposing.

For horizontal justification, we use an additional attribute to specify the
justification method (that we call 'text-justify').  The values for this
attribute will be taken from the attribute of the same name in the CSS Text
Level 3 working draft, including the value 'distribute'.  For the traditional,
western-style justification this attribute can be omitted, or set to 'auto'.

For a vertical justification, we introduce an additional value 'justify' to the
existing style:vertical-align attribute, and introduce an additional attribute
style:vertical-justify to specify the justification method.  The
style:vertical-justify attribute can take the same set of values that the
text-justify can take.

The namespace for the text-justify attribute has yet to be determined: we could
either use 'style' or something new such as 'css', 'csstext3' to indicate its
reference origin.  I'm using 'csstext3' in my development build, but it's easy
to change it later if it has to be changed.

Comments are welcome.
