You clearly can, it's just a question of what the consequences are.

This doesn't break anything, and it's useful for some DHTML purposes. I
can't think of _ANY_ occasion when it will break a browser (any
platform).

It's not entirely portable, and it will be discarded by most HTML /
XHTML / WML transcoders. So don't expect it to work on phone networks,
and certainly code your DHTML to fail robustly if the expected
attribute unexpectedly vanishes.
