One thing to keep in mind is with the Button element is its behavior
is broken in ie6 detailed here:

http://hardlikesoftware.com/weblog/2007/02/27/html-button-is-not-useful/

To get around this issue I implemented a button component similar to
commandLink using onclick.

I just wanted to make sure the EG is aware of this issue when
considering it in 2.0. I would have commented in the spec issue but I
don't have rights.
