Well, they don't call it text-align for nothing :-)
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#propdef-text-align only speaks about
text. While it would be nice to fix this, it's not a requirement (the
justification-algorithm is browser-dependent). Are there other pages that want
to align images like this ?

I do not know any pages that do this. Probably because it doesn't work. :-)  The spec says:   This property describes how inline content of a block is aligned. So it's not only about text.  The spec says that a justification is browser dependant. But only in the sense that justify may be interpreted as left or right. Since justify is implemented for text, it would be nice if other inline elements would be justified too.  This is a lovely way of having image galleries that adjust to the width of the browser window. (using inline-table for that would be even better, since it would allow for captions above or below the picture).

This should work. Replaced elements are just like oddly shaped characters.

Comment 5

[Rick Ju]

This CSS 1.0 feature still does not work.

Perhaps this will put this bug back on someone's radar.
