align="" is presentational; I didn't say the contrary. And all styling

having that information* makes the document less readable.
Sometime, presentational information is needed to display a document
correctly, and in those few cases where the presentation is tied to the
content, I think it belongs in the markup. The align attribute, when
used on table cells, covers one of those cases.
I still disagree. It only seems a benefit for visual documents and even
there the user agent could optimize display when CSS is not supported or
turned off by running some specific algorithm.
