Sure is lame that Microsoft doesn't adhere to standards.  I just got IE 
6, and verified that it decided that <td> will default to <td 
align=center> despite the fact that the HTML 4 spec says:


align = left|center|right|justify|char [CI]
This attribute specifies the alignment of data and the justification of 
text in a cell. Possible values:
*       left: Left-flush data/Left-justify text. This is the default value 
for table data.

(from: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#adef-align-TD)


This is so fucking irritating.  Antonio Dias (among others) spent a lot 
of time trying to get this stuff to look good and consistent across 
browsers.  He even REMOVED a lot of the align=left attributes to make 
the pages leaner, since it's *supposed* to be the default.

But I guess I'm preaching to the choir, right?  *&^*@@#(!!
