Hi Roger,

In HTML tables, you can use the following vertical
alignments : top, middle, bottom -- I guess this makes
it easier to distinguish between vertical and
horizontal alignments (left, center, right).
That being said, I like simplicity too, but you have
to admit it would be neat to set the vertical
alignment of a button to control where the icon and
text end up.
If for some reason, you want the icon and the text to
be right-aligned, with the text above the icon, it
would be as simple as :
- hALign = "right"
- vAlign = "aboveIcon"

Hope this clarifies my view,

Jan Schenkel.
