Mosaic (i.e. the HTML widget) had centering at one point, but it
wasn't used because we thought headers looked better without. At some
point we'll do full style sheets, and have it as an option...
(However, that does raise the question of what it means to have
headers embedded in other elements, and if that's even allowable, as
has been bandied about here in the past.)
