I thought of that, but it looks exactly the same for me both with and without JS. The *only* difference is that if JS is on, the currently selected item has a white dotted underline. But regardless, there's no reason why simple text should look like shit without JS. If the JS hyphenation works and looks good, then what you do is make the HTML/CSS left-aligned and then turn on justification in the JS. Trivial.
