What he means is that the figure is formally embedded in a paragraph inside the float, which is formatted "justified" (out of alternatives left, right, justified and centred). This means the picture will align with the left edge, being just one huge "character" in the paragraph.
Yes, that was what I meant.
I would also like to see the default be centered. In LaTeX this inserts a \begin{center} ... \end{center} pair. Alternatively, a user settable preference.
A settable preference would indeed be the "perfect" solution.
