In Stanza, the title is centred, while the graphic is left justified (as are the graphics in all the remaining pages too).
This is an interesting point...

That title is decorated as follows:
div class=chapter
div class=titlepage
h1 class=title

The chapter class is not specified in the stylesheet, so we can just ignore it.

h1 is marked text-align: left
titlepage is marked text-align: center
title has no align marking.

titlepage is after h1 in the stylesheet.

Neither have id attributes.

so for h1:

(0, 0, 0,1)

for titlepage:

(0,0,1,0)

So by the rules of specificity for css, the h1 element's styling should not take precedence over the title class's styling.

Am I wrong in my calculations?
