Yup, they do work in NS and IE and AFAIK do not hurt page rendering in
browsers that do not support them.  I was merely answering Cindy's question
about validation though, not passing judgement on the workability of those
attributes ;-).  They were not picked up by the W3C because they promote
the separation between structural markup (HTML/XML) and physical formatting
of documents (CSS/XSL).  That is also why the W3C deprecated all the
physical formatting tags and attributes in the HTML 4.0 standard.
