Mozilla 0.9.2 doesn't support cursor:hand in style definition, or layer.style.cursor="hand". I know it's not an official CSS2 definition, but it would be nice if you could identify "hand" the same as "pointer". Even if it's just to be nice to developers ;)
A year ago I would have agreed with you but now that IE6 will support the correct cursor name "pointer" instead of MS's own "hand", I'd suggest wont fix. Searching any CSS NG, you quickly see the confusion of supporting proprietary names when everyone starts expecting that this is the standard when it is not. By accepting "hand" we will only continue to encourage its use. :-(
