Absolutely - I just want to press a button to align the currently selected items.

The method of presenting the buttons is debatable but a simple set of buttons on a normal buttonbar would be simplest.
No problem with that.
Align to point or object:
All the variations of this suggested new feature use a click on an alignment button and a subsequent click to indicate the anchor point/object but one of our UI guidelines is that we don't do "button-up-drags" where the next mouse click means something different than a normal mouse click. (That's one small facet of what makes Xtreme so intuitive to use.)
I have some software where the convention is to align to the last selected object. Of course, what that is in a group select, is interesting..

Thanks for the heads-up Phil.
