It isn't actually aesthetic. I liked the non-button links. It is
functional. Now, search engines will not trigger these. Viewing diffs and
versions is expensive computational wise and could cause a site to crash
(or at least seem really slow) if a search engine nails these. Likewise,
search engines should not create new pages.

Not an easy way, but it is possible.

I think this one is a keeper, unfortunately. If someone comes up with a
better way to keep search engines from being evil, I'm willing to work
on it, but I don't see any way to do a POST request from a textual link.
Peace and Luck!
