Hey all,
is there any official recommendation for which element to use for form
submission buttons?
Historically, input has been preferred because of button's
implementation differences in IE6. Now that IE6 support is becoming less
and less of an issue for many websites, that argument is loosing
importance and I've actually heard web design schools recommend using
buttons instead.
The "HTML5" spec doesn't seem to cover this issue at all. The WHAT WG
HTML 5 spec's commenting tool uses input (type=button no less!), which
indicates a certain preference, but again it's not clear whether this
can be regarded as authoritative.
Any input?

PS: Yes, that was a horrible pun.
