What's the point in having a whole heap of ARG attributes that will 
become browser-specific?  There's no reason for a browser to support any 
such attributes, and it would make it difficult to give different 
information to different browsers, particularly when parameters for 
different browsers accidentally end up being the same (but used for 
different purposes).
