I've never seen anything terribly persuasive about <CENTER>, and I even get  
the sense Netscape wishes they had held off and implemented it as  
ALIGN=CENTER.  After all, if they support <CENTER> and ALIGN=CENTER, and if  
they support ALIGN=RIGHT, then why is there no corresponding <RIGHT> tag?

If Netscape is the OS of the future, then little glitches like that are the  
640k ceiling.
