I'm fine with it as long as a.) the default is what the classes does (i.e., "always center content" is an opt-in, not an opt-out) b.) this stuff is not physically hardcoded, but globally settable (for instance, as I have proposed, via \lyxtablesettings and \lyxfiguresettings macros) For tabulars and algorithm floats,font size would be a further useful option.
