CSS2/3: add support for string value for text-align property

Summary
CSS2/3: add support for string value for text-align property

CSS2 text-align property with a string value does not work. This was removed from CSS2.1 presumably because of a lack of adoption by user agents. This porperty was intended to replace the horizontal alignment attributes and values for table related elements: align, char and charoff. HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 through 1.1 have a table attribute to horizontally align cells on a particular character. (see
bug 11103
) e.g.: , <td align="char" char="." charoff="2">121.12</td> CSS2 intended this presentational work to be hadneld by the text-align property: adding an arbitrary string as a value. For example: td, th { text-align: "."; would accomplsih the same thing for the selected cells. WebKit does not seem to support either the HTML method nor the CSS method for aligning horizontally aligning cells.

See bug show_bug.cgi?id=11103 for the HTML alignment attributes.

CSS3 Text Module
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#text-align
also specifies "string" value for text-align property. I think the bug should be considered as an enhancement request.

CSS3 Text Module no longer specifies a 'string' option. We do support all other items in the spec.
