I believe the "align" attribute is slated for obsoletion in HTML5, on
the grounds that it's better handled by CSS.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/obsolete.html
It's a reason to go with "class" instead. Not a compelling one, perhaps.
My only strong opinion on this is that I absolutely agree with the
choice not to set the "style" attribute locally on each table cell.
But Sebastian Rose's request that prompted it, /could/ equally well be
addressed with the "align" attribute:

Using the "align" attribute as follows,
<tr>
<td align="right">1</td>
<td align="left">bar</td>
<td align="left">text</td>
<tr>
Sebastian could achieve the same with CSS like
td[align="right"] { font-family: monospace;}
In the same way one could even use CSS to override the alignment
specified by the "align" attribute, if for whatever reason this seemed
like a good idea...
One slight advantage of the "align" attribute over "class" is that it
doesn't require the default style to contain the extra verbiage
