We're talking symmetry here. Problem with that is no element will maintain its position if you put other elements on either side. <BR>
<BR>
Try it:<BR>
<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
- create an empty panel<BR>
- put the clock in its centre as you said<BR>
- now start adding elements from either the left or the right only<BR>
- watch how the supposedly centred item moves and doesn't maintain a fixed position aligned with the screen<BR>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BR>
While it will try to stay even with the elements themselves and maintain empty space on both sides, it won't be centred across the panel in alignment with the centre of the screen any more.<BR>

That can already be done easily - put the xfcw4 clock plugin on the panel - separators on either side of it expand them. Clock is centered.<BR>

<BR>
The ability to centre items in the panel would be a very nice feature. For example, you could have the clock in the centre, a bit like GNOME Shell.<BR>
