That it certainly is a great change -- I say that without testing it, but it
clearly is something I would call for.

Does it have impact on centering as well? You speak of caption, and I remember
that (at least, before), in LaTeX, when giving a caption to a figure, it was
centered, otherwise not. Is there such interaction?
