Withstanding Voltage: Compliant with IEEE 802.3, Impulse 2400V 1.2/50μs

If you look into datasheet, you will see that current curve is flat 600mA from 0°C to 70°C at which point temp derating starts.
600mA is probably not thermal bound but defined by core saturation. It will have a security factor, but how much, you will have to characterize yourself.
But I will speculate it won't be 60% more...

I did see that somehwere but then it went missing on me.

 i've only got little knowledge of transformers.     Since the current flow in each side of the primary is towards the center tap ( opposite to each other ), won't the magnetic field cancel the other side out?

No, because the current doesn't flow from both sides of the tap simultaneously. It alternately flows from each side to the tap.

Sorry but there's not really much I can add... it's a linear circuit, currents don't simply stop and start, it's a superposition of continuous, variable currents where that continuity includes values of zero and negative. :)  Also, the only nonlinearity we expect in the circuit, results in greater current flow, not lesser, nothing to make it discontinuous.

I have not found any if they in fact exisit.
