Thanks for the patch!
See my comments inline.

It would make sense to allow 'left value as well (same as nil).

I do not think that we need to consider 'justify value at this point.
Maybe in future, when (or if) we add proper justification support to
text. But not now.

This will not work when the image paragraph is indented:

* This is test
  #+attr_org: :align center
