Slider should change the mouse cursor, by a mouse hovering action.

[trazan_coder]

For a better usability, the slider should change the mouse cursor, by touching the slider button.

Do you have examples of common sliders that do this? Event <input type="range"> doesn't use a pointer cursor by default.

Example about the hover effect could be seen at ​http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.7/dijit/form/Slider.html. Just run the first example and you will see the mouse cursor hover effect if you slide the slider.

Per ​the spec cursor: pointer is for indicating links, not clickable elements. See the comments here for a relevant discussion: ​http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/give-clickable-elements-a-pointer-cursor/.

I would say we should be consistent with the native range implementation here.

I disagree about this. This pattern isn't a normal button. It's a not standard html element, because of this it's important to give a hint for the user, that an action is available at this element.
