What is the exact nature of these benefits? Because AFAIK several cavalry units lack this attribute despite being good chargers. So perhaps it does something other than increasing charge bonus.

power_charge seems to add extra shock value to charging units. Probably only meant for cavalry, medium to heavy, at that. At least thats what I use it for.

what on earth is the purpose of sea_faring? i load all sorts of troops onto ships and send them here and there.

well never mind. i was just confused because i remember seeing druids as explicitly sea faring while other units weren't, but looking through EDU i see that most units have this trait.

sea_faring is an attribute that allows your units to board ships...

You cannot transport them without the attribute...
