add_button is a method of FORM().  But I'm not sure it works as the 
following shows:

>>> simpleform = html.FORM(html.INPUT(_type="text", _name="mytext"))
>>> simpleform.xml()
'<form action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"><input 
name="mytext" type="text" /></form>'
>>> # Now comes an exception
... 
>>> simpleform.add_button('foo', html.URL('bar', 'baz', 'foo'))
Traceback (most recent call last):

>>> simpleform.xml()

>>> 
>>> #See, no exception. But look at this:
... 
>>> simpleform.xml()
'<form action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"><input 
name="mytext" type="text" /><input type="submit" /></form>'
>>> 
>>> #Whiskey Tango Fox? Button doesn't seem to be there
