That's because the paragraph is a block-level element.  You can 
successfully assign any text-align value to a paragraph and see the 
text inside it shift accordingly.  What you can't do is apply 
text-align to an inline-level element such as an anchor and see any 
effect -- unless you force the anchor to be block-level.
