A combination of display:table (Mozilla, Opera) and 
display:inline-block (IE) can cause a wrapper around floats to 
shrink-to-fit and thus be made amenable to being centered.

However, Safari (neither 2 nor 3) does not do the shrink wrapping and 
so no centering occurs. As far as I know - I'd love to be told that 
I'm wrong.


Paul O'Brien has an alternative approach that can be summed up as:

Outer wrapper:
float: left; position: relative and left: 50%

Inner wrapper
position: relative; left: -50%

It is not without drawbacks, but it may be good enough for your needs
