A table inside a TD with align=center does not center.

The problem is actually much more generic that simply tables inside cells. All HTML alignment

[Oops. A bit enter-happy. Lets try that again.] The problem is actually much more generic that simply tables inside cells. All HTML alignment attributes are being translated into 'text-align' properties in CSS. Unfortunately, they should not be. The 'correct' translation would be to use the equivalent of the following rules: [ALIGN=CENTER] *, [ALIGN=RIGHT] * { margin-left: auto; } [ALIGN=CENTER] *, [ALIGN=LEFT] * { margin-right: auto; } ...with the correct specificity, of course (see bug 2942). I am reassigning to Layout, but this may have to be reassigned to Style System. Who exactly is in charge of the HTML presentation attribute -> implied CSS rules translation step?

Peter: this may be yours or ChrisK's, so I'll start with you.

I don't think that's the right solution. I think the problem only involves tables, not "*". Perhaps this bug is a dup of bug 7112, in which I described what I think is a better solution.

Yep. I reread the HTML4 spec and discovered that the meaning of ALIGN is not consistent across all elements. This is a dup of bug 7112. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 7112 ***
