It will work only in modern browsers, no extra markup.
button,
label[for],
input[type=reset],
input[type=button],
input[type=submit],
input[type=radio],
input[type=checkbox] {
cursor: pointer;
}What does this do?
Change 
for 
in buttons(?), labels and clickeable inputs
And why does that matter?
I'm really just curious, I don't care much either way 
That feels a little awkward to me, as I expect anything that turns the pointer into a pointing hand to be a link.

I think I disagree with that. I expect it to indicate something is clickable which certainly applies to labels. However, I had already done it a diferent way so I won't be using this method.

Buttons are similar to links: they are clickable and do something and/or direct you somewhere.
Anything that's clickable should IMO have the hand cursor come up...

That increases usability. It tells you which element is clickable. For a bonus, you don't have to carefully position mouse cursor on clickable elements, changed cursor tells you right away that element underneath it is now clickable -- extremely helpful for little checboxes and radios.

JavaScript?

I'm not talking about how things should be, I'm talking about what I'm used to. 
JavaScript?
No, I just used descendant selectors constructed from the classes already avialable. That works in IE6 as well.
