I don't agree. It must be part of any style sheet specification, of course,
but I think it should be part of HTML also. Because implementing style
sheets is not trivial and there are and will be style uncapable clients.
It isn't very hard to center some block element and that capability can
be integrated without big efforts.

BTW, I'm not advocating CENTER tag. I'd be much happier if it was an
attribute on all tags where it makes sense. Ditto with SIZE.
