Quoting Anders Nawroth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

There are people who have problems to spot the cursor when it's the
vertical bar. That would be a reason to use the arrow.

Some people have very specific problems, but will have to learn how to adapt their user agent, or themselves, to cope with them. Breaking default functionality in browsers to "aid" these users is not a sustainable solution...and in an attempt to help these people, you're creating problems for an other section of users who actually rely on the browser's default behaviour.

In short: it's not your role as web content developer to impose certain things like these on all your visitors to "fix" browsers.
