simple testcase for :hover behaviour

On iOS (iPhone, iPod touch) the :hover gets triggered by a touch only if a link is present in the touched element.
For a Element X including another element Y and the following CSS rules:
X Y {display: none}
X:hover Y {display: block}
The :hover only gets recognized on touch, when there is a link in X and the link is touched.

On all other platforms the :hover gets recognized regardless of the content, as it should.

While a touch is not a hover, it would be nice if the behavior would be consistent, so that a :hover is triggered regardless of the content of the element.
