There's an example for \vcenter in the appendices (B.8.2) which should
give you an idea what it does; if you follow the link to `Align' in
section 1.8.2.3, it'll take you straight there.  If you think the
example snippet could be improved, please tell me, and I'll see if I
can come up with a better one.

As for \center-align, the consensus is that it should be renamed
\center-column, but I'm still waiting for more comments;
unfortunately, the response so far has been limited to GDP and
technical contributors.

Regards,
Neil
