>Summary: CALS 'align' attribute incorrectly used in HTML tables

Initial Comment:
In the DocBook HTML stylesheets v1.36, the CALS 
table 'align' attribute is being assigned directly to 
the HTML table 'align' attribute.  A CALS table 
uses 'align' to be the default horizontal
alignment of the cell contents.  An HTML table 
uses 'align' to designate how the table will lay out 
if it is placed immediately after
another table or image.  Try creating a DocBook 
document with a series of tables with align='left' and 
you will get a strangely cascaded set of tables going 
off the page to the right.


My workaround is not to use the 'align' attribute.  A 
good temporary fix would be to remove the code which 
sets the table align attribute. In the long run, 
tables should probably support this attribute
correctly.
