Another thing I already find quite upsetting is the tendency to use right aligned "floating" tables. What is the use of this? It disociates the table from the page, making it much more difficult for an alternate rendering agent to determine where to put it (when to read it out aloud, for instance).
I second the comment on right-aligned tables.
I also second it, but with a small addendum. On my browser/screen combination a non-floating figure will have a lot of valuable whitespace left or right of it and such an article will therefore require less scrolling or may even fit on one screen. So although I agree with Daniel that the article itself should not determine if a figure floats or not, I would like to have a skin or user option that has all figures floating to the right (or left).
