Indeed that looks weird.  It seems to be a stylistic hack to have
*headers* always centered.  I have no clue why.

I guess it should, but I don't know the rational for the always-centering
of headers. . .  If we imposed that change headlines of tables with no
instructions would no longer be centered as they default to the "left"
class.  This could be an issue if this is a good default style...
