--- Comment #45 from Isarra <[email protected]> ---
I guess my point is even if folks can do fancy non-button things with the
buttons, if they still appear as buttons, people won't expect the non-button
things. And once someone does figure it out and shares the knowledge, then the
expectation in general will change and that will just result in more confusion
when dealing with other, normal, buttons.

If the functionality is needed, don't change the buttons to act like
non-buttons, but instead look to *what* buttons/links are present. Users expect
certain things when they see certain cues - thus we have patterns in design
putting those expectations to use, and not following these patterns, while it
can work well in some cases and even in time change the existing patterns,
needs to be done very carefully.
