I've seen this also. Haven't figured out what to do about it yet.

Ronny's right.

Just the table entries. Hmmm... I now see that the the entries are
centred in my Opera5-Linux also. Weird because it didn't do that at all
while was testing.

Hmm... I'm not sure either, but, <table> is a block-level element (BLE) so
I don't think it has to inherit from a surrounding <div> (another BLE).
So I looked at the standard but maybe I didn't find the right stuff to
read but CSS doesn't seem to indicate that table should inherit.
