First, I want to point out that this is the code output by LyX, not
Gregor's doing. And I do not think that his particular problem is
about center vs centering.

I guess Herbert is balking at the use of centering as an environment.
In my view, using
\begin{centering}...\end{centering}
is equivalent to the more traditional
{\centering ...}
except that at least the first one is a proper markup. I agree
nevertheless that I never saw this documented anywhere and I have to
admit that I have no idea why this works. If it is really a bad idea,
we can of course revert to the 'traditional' version.
If LaTeX had a reasonable markup for doing centering with or without
extra vertical space, we would not need to have this discussion.
