Sometime, presentational information is needed to display a document correctly, and in those few cases where the presentation is tied to the content, I think it belongs in the markup. The align attribute, when used on table cells, covers one of those cases.
I think that is a stronger argument for keeping char than align. Another argument for align is that CSS alone can't do anything useful about alignment in columns, since inheritance only works through the element tree. Of course, I'd prefer to see that fixed in CSS. ~fantasai
