R help - Sep 2011 - Printing an xtable with type = html

I have been playing around with producing tables using xtable and the 
type = "html" argument when printing. For example, if xtbl is the
output
of a dataframe which has been run through xtable, using the command:

print(xtbl, type = "html",
       html.table.attributes = "border = '1', align =
'center'")

I would be interested to see other examples of the use of xtable to 
produce html. There is a whole vignette on using xtable to produce all 
sorts of tables for incorporation into a TeX document but I have found 
no examples of producing html with any table attributes.

Ideally xtable should be able to access a css file but I don't see any 
mechanism for doing that. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.
