Despite the resolution above, the question "whether we should encourage pointer on buttons" seems to be what really confuses people, not the appearance of the cursor. There is very little confusion about how `cursor:pointer` looks like (although the historical IE5's `cursor:hand` might be the more intuitive name:). People would like to know whether using `cursor:pointer` for things other than links is conforming or not. The current spec text, even with "typical rendering" clarification, doesn't provide a clear answer. If the more-or-less official position of the WG is that the purpose of that cursor is "to indicate something like navigating away", I believe it should be somehow reflected in the spec (although the whole concept of "navigating away" is also rather blurred in the modern world of SPA and other async things). IMO, closing the issue was rather premature because the main underlying problem wasn't solved:( -- GitHub Notification of comment by SelenIT Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1936#issuecomment-387862496 using your GitHub account
