I disagree ; By the time this spec is done, there will still be a lot of
Internet Explorer < 9 in the wild, especially considering that it's only
available on Windows Vista and 7 and *not* XP. 

These attributes, while clearly useless in standards-abiding browsers, are the
only way to achieve clean iframes in those old IE versions. They are already
understood by browsers, and, like Bill Lipa said, would help web authors to
produce interoperable confirming documents. 

There is no way to avoid them, marking them as entirely obsolete only force
authors to make invalid documents.
