FO 1.0 has character alignment--see the "<string>" value of the 
text-align property:

<string>

     Specifies a string on which content of cells in a table column will 
align (see the section, in the CSS2 Recommendation, on horizontal 
alignment in a column for details and an example). This value applies 
only if the formatting object is a descendant of a table cell. If set on 
other formatting objects, it will be treated as "start".

However, few, if any, current FO implementations have implemented it.

Cheers,

Eliot
