LookupDispatchAction, theory behind it

[Adam Hardy]

I thought I might just raise this here because I see struts has 
obviously no qualms about submit button functionality, but it bugs me.

I'm not using LookupDispatchAction, but I would like to if it wasn't for 
the annoying browser behaviour on submit of the HTML-input submit button 
values.

LookupDispatchAction is great for sorting out the appropriate action 
according to which submit button was clicked, even if those submit 
buttons have got localized text. But surely it's just pandering to the 
poor design of HTML?

Surely W3C is going to have to change that browser behaviour 
recommendation, because submitting the button name-value pair as 
"submit/labeltext" is indisputably linking function and content, which 
these days should be frowned upon.

Shouldn't it?

I mean, it could use body text for the label, and submit its value, or 
it could have a caption attribute or similar.
