The way I see it, that is indeed *all* it would do (and serve as a 
sanity flag so that browsers know how to handle this cleanly).

It *is* an explicit API to enable cursors. It has the advantage of 
reusing an existing name so that we don't have to worry about what 
happens when you specify both; and it's declarative because that's what 
you want for such a case (notably so that CSS can style what's editable 
cleanly).

We could rename it contentEditable=cursor if that's cleaner — the idea 
is the same (and I certainly won't argue bikeshedding :).
