Hello there!
I was wondering if the Link 
(https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/link/) and Button 
(https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/button/) patterns should 
include a note about the expected cursor behavior? I recently had a 
discussion with co-workers on this issue, and based on information from 
Deque University, elements with a link role should use a hand cursor, 
and elements with a button role should use an arrow. The Link and Button 
examples on the apg patterns reflect this same behavior. I wonder if it 
would be helpful to include this information on these pattern 
documentation as well?

Thank you for your time and consideration.
