Well, the onus is on the user in this case to use something other than IE. But
still, that doesn't mean we shouldn't add additional features and hooks for 
non-IE
users.

Not quite sure what you mean by the "anyway". Is it a "so why bother?"
The small text cursor is similar to many other applications (heck, I'm typing 
this
in Outlook with a surprisingly similar cursor). Also, the cursor scales in 
accordance
with the height of the current text / block it's located. And, by the same 
rationale,
if you increase the font size (which you more than likely would, if you had 
sight
problems), the cursor will also scale accordingly. Oh, and to state the 
obvious, it
blinks as well...
