Andreas pointed out earlier that AlignmentMorph can indeed still be used
for the simple reason of being a bit more explicit in intention (or
something like that), but it isn't *necessary* to use anymore though
since any Morph can do what it can. If I understood that thread
correctly.

IMHO, anyone reading this and getting interested in Squeak webserving:
PWS is more or less obsolete code (as in "unmaintained" AFAICT). Use
Comanche instead which a lot of people use and which works very good
including being the base of Swiki.
