Awesome, didn't know about any of them!

I would have liked to know the extent of their impact though - not only browser support, but things like SEO impact of the the cite attribute, or if Google uses datetime to compute one of these "search summary boxes" or whatever it's called

x

Of course these are much harder questions to answer but if anybody has pointers, shoot them my way!

Those summary boxes specifically use Schema.org structured data embedded in websites. If you want better information on Schema.org structured data, I'd recommend starting out with the Google developer documentation on the subject.

If you want a small but cool project to practice microdata and Schema.org, check my other post about building an interactive version of a resume with HTML and CSS 😉

Apart from ping that is not supported by Firefox, the rest of the attributes work across the board (even inputmode on Firefox, even when caniuse.com says it doesn't).

From the SEO perspective, these attributes provide additional semantics to the code, which should be something positive for a search engine, but I don't know how much the search engines value them. In the case of cite, the search engines will most likely crawl and index the destination page.
