Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-ui-4] Change the pointer cursor to indicate any interactive element.

Excellent suggestion.

Distinct hover styles don't help on touch screens.  Keyboard focus styles are already required & expected. Making buttons look like buttons and links look like links is still the best approach for pointer users, so they know to point the cursor at that element in the first place.
