I noticed that the test TextAlign002.xml is using textAlign on a span
element:
[[
[...]
<body>
    <div>
      <p begin="0s" end="10s" tts:textAlign="right"><span tts:textAlign="left">This caption is on the left</span>.</p>
    </div>
  </body>
]]


However, the spec indicates that textAlign can only be applied to p
elements (see table in section 8.2.19). Since the span element has the
width of the text it contains, textAlign would have no effect here
anyway.

I suggest TextAlign should also be applicable to region, body, and div.
