Why do you think :hover should not apply to all <a> elements???

To be a little more specific - see chapter 5 of CSS2, which defines "link pseudo-
classes" which apply to links and "dynamic pseudo-classes", which can apply to 
anything.  They can be mixed.  What you want is probably not |a:hover| but 
|:link:hover, :visited:hover|.  See 
http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/css/1999/09/links

Verified invalid.

Same as bug 143676, but I think there was a period of a year and a half during
which the behavior this bug and 143676 complain about didn't occur.

My bug filing came about because CSS1 specifically states that a:hover does not
apply to a elements that do not have an HREF. My understanding of the specs was
that CSS2 was like an addendum to CSS1. That is, unless something is explicitly
changed by CSS2, CSS1 rules still apply. I could find nothing in CSS2 that said
CSS1 rules about a:hover had changed.
Look closer.  :hover isn't in CSS1 at all.
