Hm, cursors are typically bitmap graphics, thus it would be
rather hard to specify a color for the cursor. You can
circumvent this problem be specifying your own cursor for
input elements, e.g.

  input { cursor: url(cursor), text }

I think the only thing CSS3 could do is to require user agents
to ensure a certain contrast for cursors to avoid such problems.
