A bit of a side topic. But could someone point out some urls where the
deprecated/removed align attribute is used along with block elements that
are supposed to be centered too.
I've seen a lot of WikiText. But frankly, I have never seen any article or
template that even tried to use align to center non-inline content
(besides {| align=center).
