Yes, they'd work, but would be of extremely limited use since adding pretty much any other condition results in an inefficient query. In practice, that would mean that multiple values for apnamespace would disable pretty much all other ap* parameters. I recall explaining earlier on this list that that'd mean too much complex logic for such minimal gain.
