I posted a test case above. Everything in this table must be centered similar
to the bottom row.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Diskussion:Projektneuheiten#Wenn_HTML5_bedeutet

It's not true that "the align attribute is no more supported". *EVERY* web
browser is perfectly able to do the right thing even in HTML5 mode. This will
not change for many years. There is no need to burn all align attributes.

If it needs to be burned for an "according to the spec" reason we need time to
find these attributes in every Wikipedia article and every template and find
other solutions. As said and as shown in the example it is *NOT* possible to
simply replace every align="center" with style="text-align:center". This is not
the same. This will not work in some cases (read, in cases where block elements
are involved because text-align is for inline elements only but align is for
both).

In some cases we may be able to replace <td align="center"><table> with
<td><table style="margin:auto">. But we need time to do this and to test it. I
*KNOW* this will not work in some older browsers. This is the reason why we
used the align attribute and not margin:auto. In cases where the outer table
cell an the inner block element are from different templates it may not be
possible at all or at least not so easy. It's definitely not a good solution to
hack a {{{style|}}} parameter into every template with this bug.

And again: Why does the <center> tag still work but the align attribute does
not work? This does not make sense. Do you really want us to replace every
align="center" with <center>? Hell, no. The align="center" is fine. It works.
It does it's job where a text-align is not enough.

TL;DR: Either remove <center> or continue supporting the align attribute.
