How's that any different from doing it with links, in terms of user

look exactly like a link.

Because some browsers (such as Firefox) and browser accelerators attempt to fetch the first few links on a page *before* the user clicks on them, so that clicking will be much faster. D'oh! Your acceleration just changed your
settings. ;-)

Well yeah, that was my point. (I ain't fer it, I'm agin it!) I was saying that it's just as easy to use buttons to do the same thing (and make them look like hyperlinks if you must), which avoids the problems you mentioned.
