I forgot to include the link to the Gecko bug, which contains an interesting discussion about this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=559382 (I also meant to say that IE prior to _IE8_ behaved like Firefox). In short: The IE8 behavior corresponds exactly to having th { text-align: center } in the default UA sheet; others have chosen differently, to have something like <table><tr align=left><th>text</table> working as "expected" (for compatibility...)
