How refer to all right-aligned `td' elements in a certain tables without
some special attribute anyway.  `class' preferred since this is CSS2 and
will work in commen browsers.  I'm not sure how which browsers will
understand  the selector  `table#special td[align="right"] {...}'.





BTW: Org mode's exports to XHTML, not HTML 4.01 or HTML 5 (which is a
proposal, not a "standard" or recommendation yet).  Still,
'<td align="right">' is valid XHTML, too.
