   yes they work, at least in 32-bit mode.

   | now this is no assembler (it is samll 'script' though compiled  language)   
   | (asembler is when you see atomic instructions)   
      
   It is "Terse", an assembler language. Me too use equations instead of   
   MOV, LD, ST and if required I precede it with Sx Zx followed by b/w/d/q,   
   but I use Intel memnonics for all others like ADD,ADC,SUB,SBB...   
   So 64 bit instructions may ie. read on my disassembler as:   
      
   03 00           ADD RAX,Zxd[RAX]   ;instead of ADD eax,[rax]   
   8B 00           RAX=Zxd[RAX]       ;instead of MOV eax,[rax]   
   41 0F B6 34 81  RSI=Zxb[RQ9+RAX*4] ;instead of movzx esi,byte[...]   
      
   just to show what really happens and to avoid guessing the high 32 bits.   
      
   [...about register names]   
      
   you are free to decide and may rename all registers after girls,   
   but I heavy daubt that this make your source better readable.   
      
   I can use optional (also vital for other than x86 CPUs) RL0...RQF where   
   the second letter indicate size (L=lowbyte H=highbyte W/D/Q) and the last   
   is the physical register number (0..15 in hex).   
      
   btw: your 32-bit windoze assembler may already exists, look for RosAsm.
