Do you mean you would like the 'pointer' keyword to be replaced by the
'hand' keyword? The WG discussed this in 1997, and the only document
that ever mentioned 'hand' as a possible value for 'cursor' is the
*original* draft *note* from August 1997:
http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-css-potential#pgfId=1037562
The value found in the CSS2 spec, 'pointer', is better since it does
not give the impression that a particular cursor shape will be used.
You will notice that most of the cursor types are picture-neutral in
this way.

I would be more inclined to suggest the opposite -- the UI colours
should IMHO use hyphens. This would be more in line with the rest of
the CSS specification and what has been implemented.
