But in this case, it's precisely Netscape 4.x that's behaving the way 
I think it should (and the table you cite gives NS4 a "Y" for 
text-align). I've spent untold hours CSS-ing around Netscape's 
various version 4 layout bugs (try throwing some form elements in 
those tables!), but v.6 has completely rewritten the formatting 
engine, hopefully getting around some of its former bugginess.

It's the new version (and IE5/Mac as well) that seem to be to doing 
this rather elementary formatting incorrectly. Or am I just 
interpreting CSS1 5.4.6 incorrectly?
