not just 1 space, all spaces... justified means, the line ends with a letter,
and the next line start with a letter... all spaces between them must be on
margins..

we could truncate, but i would afraid to modify the document automatically ..
maybe if it could be optionally chooseable.

If someone put 2 spaces between 2 word... then type 1 line text before that...
and later he sees the 2 space become 1 space... he will say it is a huge
regression... 
And we should start explaining that while he typed, the 2 spaces was moved to
the line end, and then truncated.. and when moved forwad, it remained 1 space.
(and sure there could be a lot other problematic situations...)

But i agree... if the user specifically choose to do it, it could be a useful
command to clear the meaningless spaces.
