I must have missed part of the tread earlier since I see "others recommended
putting 'text-align: left'". If the body had no text alignment (the default is
text-align: left) then you don't have to restate text-align: left on any
element unless an ancestor has text-align: center already. The CSS is less
complicated if you only center what needs to be centered.

Apart from text-align: center centering text, it also centers images. The real
poison is that for IE, text-align: center will center all descendant elements
as well, so be careful. The text-alignment that you would achieve with the CSS
as above could be stated.
#container {margin 0 auto;}
