I was just having the same problem myself!
Here is what I am doing for now:
<f:verbatim>
<input type="button" value="Start Dialog" onclick="startDialog();"/>
</f:verbatim>
This doesn't solve your EL problem though. Perhaps we could add an
attribute to x:commandButton? Or maybe a new component,
x:inputButton, would be more appropriate (since its not really a
command if its not posting back to the original bage and listening for
action events.)
