Yes. display-alignment is a symbol. write it with a ' like you do for
bold. This is indicated in the report by (open)jade : 
(reference to undefined variable "center").

I pasted your code in my stylesheet and with this correction, it works.

The spec (12.6.14. Rule Flow Object Class) says that orientation: has no
