Re: [WSG] Centre DIV Vertically? Any compliant methods?

[John Horner]

Slightly off-[this]topic, but does anyone have an explanation for how 
vertical alignment got "missed" in the creation of CSS? This topic 
comes up again and again. I mean, forgive me for being crass, but did 
they just forget? Or was it not considered necessary?

I imagined that they would have a big list called "Stuff You Can 
Already Do" which they worked through -- and vertical alignment 
should have been on it...

It offends my sense of logic to see all these complex hacks and 
workarounds for such a simple thing.
