agreed but some can and are sometimes made visible (for screen and/or print), through css

Example: 

blockquote[cite]:after {
  content: "Quote from: " attr(cite);
  display: block;
}

There is also the title attribute with mouser over.

(it depends if you limit the "displayed directly" to visual browsers and browser not showing things out of the box.)
