Good point.
I've stopped using HTML attributes where ever possible, so it didn't occur
to me.
I would've used something like:
<style type="text/css">
caption, th, td {
text-align: left;
}
..center {
text-align: center;
}
..right {
text-align: right;
}
</style>
<table border="1" width="400">
<caption>This is a table</caption>
<tr>
<th class="center">heading</th>
<th>heading</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="center">data</td>
<td>data</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>data</td>
<td class="right">data</td>
</tr>
</table>
