The Validation service does not choose what is valid and what is not, 
it is only following specifications to determine what is valid. Whether 
browsers understand or not invalid constructs is not relevant to the 
validator.

... because "hand" is not an accepted value for cursor, see:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ui.html
and for the next version of CSS
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-css3-ui-20040511/#cursor
However I found:
no-drop
  Indicates that the dragged item cannot be dropped at the current 
cursor location. Often rendered as a hand or pointer with a small 
circle with a line through it.

Maybe that's what you were looking for?
