Hehe, you won't find many layout programs which handle that! Fortunately
you found FOP.

You don't need any special property, actually. Provided there is some
elastic spaces, FOP will justify pages as it does for paragraphs.
It's easy to add elastic spaces if your text contains section,
sub-sections, etc. with titles, or if your layout design requires spaces
between paragraphs. You just have to specify the space-before and
space-after properties the right way, e.g.:
<fo:block space-before.minimum="6pt" space-before.optimum="10pt"
space-before.maximum="14pt">
A paragraph...
</fo:block>

The more you specify spaces between blocks of text, the easier it will
be to justify pages.


HTH,
Vincent
