In theory they are used to preserve the original size and position of controls when they are set to alClient, alTop etc. so when they are set back so alNone at a later time, they automatically revert to their original size and position.   Personally I never found that useful and since these values tend to change very often (no idea why, they shouldn't) they pollute the DFM diffs and history.
