Yes, that is the case in all browsers. I don't have an all encompassing doc, 
except for the html5 spec
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#alignment
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#attributes-for-embedded-content-and-images

For Gecko it is coded in the UA stylesheet; WebKit has it hardcoded somewhere, 
I forgot where though
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/style/html.css
