> still there are some "good practices" that the spec specifically endorses/recommends, aren't they? @SelenIT Yes, as long as we're clear that we are indeed talking about endorsing best practices, not about conformance. One is subjective, the other is objective. We are in subjective territory here. As for the best practice, UI conventions in all operating systems I can think of (and certainly among those represented in the CSS-WG), as well as in the default styling for the web is that the default cursor is used for buttons and other clickable things, and that only hyperlinks get the pointer cursor. My understanding was that Apple and Microsoft felt rather strongly about this, and wanted to maintain the consistency between the native UI and the web. No-one in the group seemed to disagree (or at least not strongly enough to push back). I suspect the trend about using pointer over all clickable things started roughly with the flat design trend as it makes it more difficult to visually identify what is clickable or not. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1936#issuecomment-388235200 using your GitHub account
