That looks good.  The only thing that come to my mind is that, sometime
it may be better to use categories of @-commands defined in
Texinfo/Common.pm, but in that case, the raggedright is in the
"align_command" hash, but center is there too, so I think your patch is
best.

In the HTML converter, all the @-commands are associated with function
references to make them configurable.

Also, please check that the test work correctly before commiting, and if
not regenerate them.
