[thelist] table cells suddenly centering...

Rewd --

I haven't actually tested this, because I'm not upgrading just yet, but 
I did see it happen on one of my pages using somebody else's machine.

On my site, I assumed that the nested table was actually inheriting a 
declared align="center" attribute in a parent cell. In my case, I was 
centering a log in box on a big page.

It doesn't change the fact that you'll apparently have to specifically 
set your alignment, but I'm curious, since the problem hasn't been 
reported by more people ...

Can anyone test that? Centered horizontal alignment default or 
inherited in IE6?
