True, but implementors have had to decide already what happens when a <center>'ed item is affected by a float. I wouldn't mind improving the interop of that by having something like 'center { display:block; block-align: center top; }' in the UA style sheet, and then let's nail down the less obvious effects of that in a block-align spec.
I do still occasionally use a <center> tag as a quick and dirty cheat. I'd feel considerably less dirty if I could use block-align instead (but I'd probably continue using <center> for years to come in HTML emails, thanks to the sorry state of certain email clients).
