We currently don't have interop with IE and other browsers with

IE always sends .innerText as value.
IIRC it's innerHTML, but I can't verify it at the moment.
Ah. Indeed, it is. Replace .innerText with .innerHTML in my proposal.
Ugh, this seems very messy. I think Kornel said it quite well when he
said that there isn't likely many pages out there that rely on IEs
behavior because you might as well use <input type=submit>.
I bet Hixie knows how many pages out there uses <button>, possibly even
<button> without a type attribute?
Is there really a noticable number of sites that rely on IE's broken
behaviour?
Apparently, enough for the IE team to not change it for IE7, despite me
sending a bug report about it. (The bug was closed as "by design" IIRC.)
This is a poor test since Microsoft is very conservative with regards to
chaining behavior. See recent threads on the HTML WG list.
From what I understand they aren't going to change behavior unless it
can be proven that no sites will break. I prefer to go the other way and
say that we should do what makes a good spec unless it can be proven to
break sites (as a general rule of thumb).
