The tag is probably spelt that way because it was introduced by Netscape, according to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32#center and its use has been discouraged since it first appeared in a standard.
ISTR that Mosaic rendered <center>
The stylesheet equivalent is "text-align: center"
Stylesheets are all very well, but as I understand them, (do correct me if I'm wrong - it's been known...) aren't they a sort-of template, to which several pages refer for their layout?
I *COULD* think of the point of having a lot of pages following the same arrangement on a commercial site with many products or services in different classes, or for rendering albums of pics, but for writing a 'creative' website, I'd prefer straight HTML.
