There's a difference between this and CSS cursors; CSS cursors can project outside of the window (though I suppose the UA usually resets the cursor when the mouse leaves the window, though I'm not sure if it's required to).
On the other hand, elements with position:pointer could not be rendered outside the viewport. It's really a different beast to a cursor.
Also:
div {
position: pointer;
}
div:hover {
position: static;
}
(though we have this issue with other properties too).
