There's nothing wrong with doing `text-align: center' on <body>, but
that should be inherited by all the descendants of <body>. I.e., the
text contents of your <p>, <td>, etc. elements should in this case be
rendered centered instead of left-aligned or justified. You'll need to
override that if such isn't the desired effect, by setting `text-align:
left' or `text-align: justify' as appropriate on the relevant elements.
