I would just like to add that there are various ways that browsers allow
users to "go back". In IE alone, you can press the backspace key, right
click and select "back", click on the "back" button or press ALT+left.
If a user wants to use such mechanisms, they should be prepared to accept
the consequences (such as the possibility of a form being submitted twice.)
However, the application developer has to make sure it behaves reasonably.
