------- Comment #3 from webkit at blaut.biz  2008-06-03 06:14 PDT -------
The test case is rendered in quirks mode. So Firefox behaves like IE and
doesn't honor :hover on other elements than links as IE does it in earlier
implementations. 

The CSS 2.1 standard says that :hover applies to all elements, not only to
links. So according standard the issue is not bug. It's expected behavior. But
if we want to be consistent with Firefox and IE in quirks mode we should
consider the issue as a real bug.

What we should do with this issue? Is it a really needed to extend quirks mode
to this case also?
