It can -- use %rfloat text-align=center% instead of just %rfloat%.
Or, an author can redefine rfloat to include center-aligned caption text
with
%define=rfloat rfloat text-align=center%
or an admin can make this setting in config.php with
$WikiStyle['rfloat']['class'] = 'frame rfloat';
$WikiStyle['rfloat']['text-align'] = 'center';
However, as far as I know the publishing standard for captions is
left-justification.

That's a good idea, but I'm not sure I'm ready to jump quite
that far yet. I'm thinking that using simple tables (and the
simple table syntax) as the model for large-scale justification
isn't quite the right way to go.

AFAIK the space isn't necessary; at least, it's not supposed to be
required.
