[uf-discuss] Need a figure markup

[Chris Messina]

Additionally, text-align only applies to text alignment in a block,
which has nothing to do with figure positioning relative to text...
meaning that you couldn't position those nifty little pen and ink
drawing that the Wall Street Journal has in its columns using the
text-align property. Instead you'd need a combination of floating and
margins.
