This is all great to see again.
I'm interested, during this round of typographic bar-raising, in demonstrating uses for variations in concert with, or as a superior substitute for current practice of more traditional typography.
So, in the case of justification, I'd like to employ use of the x-transparency of letters and the word space, leaving the letter spacing and width axis out of it. The demo enclosed, from illustrator, shows how I can (manually), lengthen lines, via the word space, and shorten the lines with the XTRA axis.

In the case of justifying text in circles, other non-collumnar composition, or with variable column width down the page, in the 21st century version, I would like to demonstrate the use both the above and per-line linespacing appropriate to the varying line lengths, with the descenders reacting via YTDE, growing longer for lines of text, and shrinking for shorter lines of text, along with the line spacing.
