The current Plucker "alignment" function code is really about text
justification, which is different than image alignment. Here's what
the HTML spec says about image alignment in 13.7.4:
align = bottom | middle | top | left | right
Deprecated [in favor of stylesheets].
This attribute specifies the position of an IMG, OBJECT, or APPLET
with respect to its context.
The following values for align concern the object's position with
respect to surrounding text:
* bottom: means that the bottom of the object should be vertically
aligned with the current baseline. This is the default value.
* middle: means that the center of the object should be vertically
aligned with the current baseline.
* top: means that the top of the object should be vertically aligned
with the top of the current text line.
Two other values, left and right, cause the image to float to the
current left or right margin. [It still occurs in the same line it
would have without alignment, but either at the beginning or the end,
instead of where it actually occurs in the text.] They are discussed
in the section on floating objects.
Differing interpretations of align. User agents vary in their
interpretation of the align attribute. Some only take into account
what has occurred on the text line prior to the element, some take
into account the text on both sides of the element.
I'll send you a distiller patch for the "hint" code.
