Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: Since they are more or less free to support, and since at least one UA does support them, I'll leave them in for now. If Gecko removes support then I'll be happy to remove it. (They probably would be happy to remove it if they are the only ones who do it.)

Checked in as WHATWG revision r6919.
Check-in comment: Drop support for obsolete table alignment values that no browser supports any more anyway.
