Heh.  Yeah ... I noticed that just after I sent my prior message.  I was
thinking about some of the other pages that I'd just been visiting though,
where the centering seems more gratuitous (1st example below), or might
make the result *seem* "busier" (or even less well rendered) than the non-
TRST version (2nd example below, due to the left-justification of (only)
the "Game Summary/Recap" line).

It's probably more of a case of getting used to "something different", I
suppose.

OTOH, since TRST-rendering can make quite a difference in the visual
appearance (at least as great as the difference between SortaSGML and
TagSoup modes), why not have a bindable command to switch between TRST
on and off?

Hmmmm.  I may try doing something with that over the weekend, if time
permits.
