Eric,
I'm using netscape 1b3 on Linux to view
http://www.portal.com/~sedit/xeditgui.html
and the text following the <img> follows the align attribute. In fact,
experimenting with a local copy of the page, text before and after
<img> follows align=. I think TomM is correct. At least netscape practice
is to align text before and after the image. To the extent that it fits
one one line.
