Overriding just overrides left or full justification. It does not override something centered.

I've taken all the left and/or justify out of an ePub and left just the center.

ADE 1.7.2 defaults to left justify.
ADE 2.0 defaults to left justify.

There is no way to specify the justification other then what is specified in the CSS. But because ADE 2.0 support hyphenation, I'd want justified. But I can see where some would want left justified in ADE 1.7.2. We cannot please everyone. So it has to be one or the other and overall, full justified can look better.
