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...)
