Oh MAN !! It's one of those full circle things ! I hate that. It's like
"exactly the same only different". Now we can ~design~ a danged <.center>
and that'll make the world a better place. The more things change the more
they stay the same . . . 

Just kidding . . . sorta.

Yea, buy all means. We can certainly **create** a tag named '
fuzzysdarnedcentertag ' and use it to center stuff something like this:

<.'center; "fuzzysdarnedcentertag"'>bla</fuzzysdarnedcentertag />

OH ! OH !

*now* I see how this makes it less code for the browser manufacturer !!!
NOW I get it!

Somebody please tell *me* again, why <.center> is a goner?
