I'm just curious where these attributes come in handy. It's not compulsory to use these according to OPF specs. This thread is one year old already but has something changed for nowadays? Does some reading devices pick up info from the attributes and show it for the user e.g. pseydonyms of the author?
To sum up, is there any practical reason to use these attributes?
