Yeah, it's obscure for sure.

<!ELEMENT BUTTON

   (%flow; <http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/dtd.html#flow>)*
-(A|%formctrl;
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/dtd.html#formctrl>|FORM|FIELDSET)
   -- push button -->

Using Toolman's excellent 2005 article "The Art of Reading a DTD"
http://www.autisticcuckoo.net/archive.php?id=2005/05/01/art-of-reading-dtd
I think the above can be decyphered as:

<!ELEMENT BUTTON - -
     (%flow;)* -(A|%formctrl;|FORM|FIELDSET)
     -- push button -->

opening and closing tags are required, it can contain any number of
flow elements (block or inline), but can't CONTAIN links, other form
controls, forms or fieldsets.

Thanks Patrick, that's a really useful link.
So I guess it's just up to John whether to use javascript or regular links now.
