Hi Dave,

I completely agree, as did the authors of the XSL-FO spec.  The spec says the default 
value for text-align-last is 'relative',  which they describe as:

"If text-align is justify, then the alignment of the last line, and of any line ending 
in U+000A, will be start. If text-align is not justify, text-align-last will use the 
value of text-align."

Since the DocBook stylesheet does not set a root value for text-align-last, this 
statement applies.

The only time text-align-last is set to 'justify' is for table of contents entries 
that are displaying a  dot leader and right-aligned page number. In that particular 
context, the fo:leader is allowed to expand to fill the space, and not the text.  That 
is the only way to achieve that effect.

Regarding the ulinks, you *must* also set the 'ulink.hyphenate' param, as described 
here:

Your mail did not mention that param, but it is necessary to achieve the effect.
