current_page_item class too liberal

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

The Page walker sets this in the li tag.

Is it me, or not all browsers support css such as the following?

.current_page_item > a {
  font-weight: bold;
}

Shouldn't we give the class to the anchor tag directly?

Erm?

.current_page_item a {
  font-weight: bold;
}

Giving the CSS class to the li tag provides a ton more flexibility and it'd break a bajillion themes who expect the current output.
