That's incorrect; see 
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/text.html#alignment-prop:

        "This property describes how inline content of a block is aligned 
[etc...]

All of this section is worded in terms of "inline content" or "inline 
boxes", not text per se.

Who said anything about IE? :-)  All browsers do it, and it's not wrong!

Now, what IE does do wrong is that it also centers block content within 
a container that has 'text-align: center'.  This may be what you are 
thinking of.
