Incidentally, this shows why justification is not appropriate for dynamically generated text. I could go back and reformat it, which might be a good idea in any case to avoid a long horizontal scroll; but in the meantime, the justification only makes it worse.
I don’t think the ugliness there has anything to do with dynamic generation, but rather with the presence of a very long equation that can’t be line-wrapped – and, along the lines of what you say, probably should be a displayed equation anyway. The same text in a static context, with non-wrapping equations, would exhibit the same problem.
Regarding line-wrapping and justification (off-topic and over a year late): That equation would line-wrap beautifully, and LaTeX (or plain TeX) would do so just fine (with or without justification); but iTeX forbids line-wrapping inside equations. It works best as an inline equation, since it's already within a bullet list, so extra indentation could be hard to read. (That's why I left it inline even here.) If it were on a static page, then I would force line-wrapping in a good spot, but I can't do that when I don't know how wide the screen will be; that's why dynamic rendering is relevant. (There's a bit in the TeXbook about how you should look for ugly spacing and reword your text to make it go away, but you can only do that for a static layout.) It wouldn't look great with left justification, but it would look much better. (But I am generally not a fan of full justification in almost any context; there's a lot of ugly justification on the nLab in my admittedly extreme opinion.)
