It works because setting align="right" on a table is equivalent to setting 
style="float: right". This removes the table from the normal flow of the 
document.

Hence, instead of:

  DIV
  TABLE
  DIV

you have

  DIV
  DIV

By default, divs have no margin, so they stack on top of each other like that.
