Thanks for the suggestions. I think I've tried some variation of all of them without success and I fear Davoud may be correct that it isn't possible without serious hacks, conditionals or scripting. Stu Nichols appears to have accomplished it with an unordered list ( http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/centered.html) using Alex's approach. I'll see if that will translate into my layout as soon as I get a moment.
Thierry, I purposely avoided using a list as I didn't feel that it would be semantically correct. I think a definition list might be, but I fear in the end I would be facing the same problem (with more markup). Thanks!
