MS is linking to the 3.2 spec...

but it is deprecated in the 4.01 spec, meaning you shouldn't use it, but you'll still validate to the 
loose DTD if you do...

list of attributes:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/index/attributes.html
according to the spec, it can be used with TD and TH, not the ones (body, DD, DIV, DT, TD, TH) 
MS suggests... but they are also using the 3.2 spec...

more info about nowrap:

too bad <nobr> doesn't exist in 4.01...
