I second the comment on right-aligned tables. They force content that flows to the left of the table to be far too narrow to read -- unless one widens the entire window, and then the full-width content is too wide to read comfortably.

Tables should be within the flow as a block in their own right, likewise images.

This simply won't work for long tables such as the elements tables of even with shorter ones like the country pages. All that is needed is diligence in not making these tables too wide. Granted the elements tables are a bit fat and are at the maximum of tolerance for low res screens but the taxonomy tables are not in the vast majority of cases.

Table content is important too and not having right justification will make for unnecessarily long articles with hordes of whitespace. The same is true for image justification. The result will be a more disjointed article with that will not have /any/ readability benefits in or out of edit mode.
