It isn't a standard tag, it's an MSIE extension (although Netscape support it now apparently) and I personally would not use it. However help about it is available at

IE and Netscape I believe and probably Opera since they mimick IE quite well.

There is no really good alternative, you might be able to write some javascript that did something similar in all browsers but that is a lot of work.

You just have to be aware of the problem, you may find in browsers that don't support it that they just display the text as normal text.
