R help - Jan 2008 - adjusting y axis labels in lattice plots?

Are there parameters that would allow adjusting y axis labels in lattice 
plots? E.g in the following simple example

require(lattice)
xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ 1:10, scales=list(alternating=2))

it would be nice to have the y axis labels adjusted to the right or at the 
decimal point instead of left adjustment.

There's nothing that allows that sort of adjustment. You can, however
specify the labels
("-0.5", " 0.5" etc.), either explicitly through
scales$labels or
programmatically through the yaxis.components function (which would
presumably use format() or something similar). Of course, this will
only work reliably if you use a fixed width font.
