Attachment: standards-mode testcase

I believe that's deliberate/by design for quirks mode documents such as your
testcase.  This standards-mode testcase works as expected.

Confirmed, that this is deliberate in quirks mode.  See
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/web-developer/quirks/quirklist.html

"The :hover pseudoclass will only be applied to links, images, and form
controls, unless the selector includes tag names, ids, or attributes."

->Invalid
