no means ragged (i.e. no justification)
best investigate this with paragraphs:
\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{\input tufte }
\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{\hfil \input tufte }
\framed[width=4cm,align=middle]{\hfil \input tufte }
\framed[width=4cm,align=right]{\hfil \input tufte }
\framed[width=4cm,align=right]{\input tufte }
the last line gets a parfillskip which is why you see interference with
your hfil's ('use hfill or hfilll ro be sure), compare:
\hsize 10cm
\hfil xyz
\input tufte
\parfillskip0pt
\hfil xyz
\input tufte
\end

no, it would break many things (proper alignment of multi line
paragraphs to start with)
I can imagine an extension:
\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{\hfil xxx}
\framed[width=4cm,align=no]{\parfillskip0pt\hfil xxx\endgraf}
\unprotected \setvalue{\@@ragged@@command abc}%
{\appendtoks\raggedright\parfillskip\zeropoint\to\everyraggedcommand}
\framed[width=4cm,align=abc]{\hfil xxx}
but i don't know what keyword to use
