Yep, no bonus, but I expect any sword so boosted will behave as it otherwise
would (although unless it was magical it probably won't do much). Haven't
tried it myself.

Both sides (which include semi-informed mortals) have indeed co-opted parts
of the _image_ of the true aspects of Light and Dark. Mainly it's show and
perception, if an angel (or Isil Eth) is throwing about Holy Light or
somesuch, then it's the Holiness that is doing the hurting. See also Bolt of
Starfire - the pretty sparkly stuff is a side effect of the starfire.
Note that Web gets anything not the opposite of its element, so ties up
(momentarily) demonics, golems, elementals etc.
Also, if they are celestial mages (applies to greater undead especially)
that will give them a L/D aspect, as will (generally) association with
celestial L/D outside the standard Alusian colleges (e.g. Moon Goddess
avatars).
Dark sword: just don't do it! :-)
