I don't really think there is much of a difference when using the two, 
so why not? Why break with your identity for nothing?
Apart from that, the mouse is the replacement for your hand, not a 
cursor :-)

I wouldn't mind making the link cursor more obvious, though, although I 
haven't actually seen it in use (or have I, and just not noticed? ;-))

Bye,
