Review of cursor-023.htm (CSS test: PNG cursor) (chapter 18)

Hello all,

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100701/html4/cursor-023.htm

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100701/xhtml1/cursor-023.xht

1- "You should see another copy of the purple square "

should be replaced with

"You should see another copy of the cat image "

2- "This UA-defined rectangle should be based on the size of a typical
cursor on the UA's operating system. If the resulting cursor size does
not fit within this rectangle, the UA may proportionally scale the
resulting cursor down until it fits within the rectangle."
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/ui.html#cursor-props

so, there ought to be some kind of warning in the expected result of the
testcase that such copy of the cat image may be rescaled, scaled down.
The original support/cat.png is 98px wide by 99px high.

3- html { color: blue; font-size: 2em; cursor: url(support/cat.png),
default; }

I do not understand why style the root element in the testcase ...
unless inheritance was specifically intended to be tested in that
testcase.

Why not just style the body element?

4- FWIW, (strange) Firefox 3.6.6 does not pass this
20100701/html4/cursor-023.htm test under Windows XP but will pass it
under Linux KDE.

(strange) Safari 5.0 under XP Pro passes this test
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100701/html4/cursor-023.htm
but fails this test
http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/css/ui/cursor/002.html

And no error reported in the respective consoles.

regards, Gérard
