There is currently no standardized way of doing this that has any widespread
distribution.
Eventually <DIV ALIGN=CENTER> will do what you desire.
In the absence of DIV you could use the <CENTER> tag with the understanding
that it will only work in Netscape, W3-mode, and the OS/2 browser, and
will probably never make it into the official HTML spec.
<DIV> also has the nice capibility of being able to add a CLASS attribute
to specify its semantics and can specify many other alignment styles.
Maybe we can get <DIV> published in 2.1 so that we can start using it
sooner rather than later.
