align='left' has the same effect, but reversed,if you see what I mean.

This is a good example of why the presentational aspects of HTML are bad. 
align='right' behaves one way if you use it in a table element, and another 
way if you use it in a p. Although there are more properties in CSS the way 
they behave doesn't really change with the element they are applied to.
