I tried browsing to the post directly using both IE 7.0 and Firefox 3.05, and Sleepy was #1. Similarly, the version Outlook fetched for me had Sleepy as #1. Something odd is going on.

I don't understand what all happens in the chain between WordPress, Feedburner, and Google Reader. I've been trusting the WordPress editor to center images instead of manually inserting an inline style. Apparently the inline style still doesn't center in Google Reader, but now GR does respect the line breaks around the images. Thanks.

The raw feed will have no reference to this stylesheet. If you'd applied an inline style attribute, then this would (likely, I don't know how wordpress works) appear directly in the feed, and some feed readers may well get it right: I wouldn't count on it though!

When I view the feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/theendeavour I get server up XHTML, by which time the ordered list start attribute has gone missing. So maybe Google reader isn't to blame and it's Feedburner's fault. Hang on, though - Feedburner is a Google property too.
