Uqbar - but Comment 324 was effectively negated by Comment 347, where
this bug was reopened. I think I had something to do with that, but
regardless, I'm just trying to be helpful here at this late stage of the
game.

aceman - you do have a valid point. I'm definitely not willing to try
myself to persuade the W3C to re-include align/valign/etc. in the HTML5
spec, and I don't know what debates have taken place within the working
group on this topic, but think of it this way: if HTML5 is supposed to
be a spec based on the current support of HTML5 in modern browsers,
don't you think it could possibly change their mind if a real
implementation was made by Mozilla and then followed by WebKit? That
would mean support in all 5 of the major modern browsers, and then maybe
there would be a stronger reason to reinclude it in HTML5. As has been
pointed out here numerous times, <col> is effectively useless without
align, and there is no alternative CSS approach that could possibly be
as useful as the align attribute from HTML4.

I think it's still worth a shot.
