Wouldn't it be nice to have some horizontal and vertical align css
properties for block level elements.
Both vertical-align and text-align are for inline elements within
the block level element (both are applicable to table-cells as well).
The block horizontal align property could be used in use-cases like this
<center>
<p>This is a paragraph which is centered</p>
</center>
or
<div align="center">
<p>this para is centered
</div>
Block vertical align property could be used in usecase you have
mentioned.
Thanks,
