Sathish, that doesn't exactly answer the question. Also, part of that definition might make you think its 'safe' to store sensitive data in the dom. I would answer: "they are good for storing simple numbers or string data in the dom, as part of an element." Also, since anybody can 'view source', this data is visible by anyone who wants to look - so not so good for sensitive/private data.
