HTML table does not apply left column alignment

[iluvcapra]

If I create an HTML table and give explicit colalign like this:

tabulate_html2_table = tabulate(data, tablefmt='html', 
                               headers=('Letter','Remark','Formula'),
                              colalign=['left','left','center'])
print(tabulate_html2_table)

The result is this:

<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>Letter  </th><th>Remark                       </th><th style="text-align: center;">          Formula           </th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>A       </td><td>First Letter of the Alphabet </td><td style="text-align: center;">          $a = 1$           </td></tr>
<tr><td>B       </td><td>Second Letter of the Alphabet</td><td style="text-align: center;">$b = \frac{2}{a\frac{2}{a}}$</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

The columns that should have "left" alignment do not have the text-align: left; style attribute applied. It would be great if it did! It does appear to apply the center attribute where I'm asking so the machinery seems to be basically working, the left alignment seems to be special-cased.
