I have examples at
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html.

I think the effect is noticeable and desireable for printed books, but
"pure" hanging punctuation is too much of a good thing. Each typeface
needs customized parameters for each letter to get a smooth effect. I
can provide the settings I use for Adobe Sabon and Jenson.

It helps paragraph filling also. It seems that any additional degree of
freedom TeX has when formatting the paragraph results in more evenly
colored text. 

Note that margin kerning occurs only for paragraph justification. That
is, if you have text within /startlines ... /stoplines, neither left nor
right margins will be kerned.

As someone who came to TeX late in life, I am very pleased with the
typographical results. I can really "wow" people who appreciate such
things.
