and if I remember correctly, the functionality to be provided as
originally stated was a link to a "next page". I'd suggest that that
specific functionality - linking - is adequately provided by the
anchor tag, and it is inappropriate to use a button (of any kind) to
provide that functionality.
(And I believe it's irrelevant that various screens specific to an OS
use buttons to progress from screen to screen, e.g. MacOS's use of a
"Continue" button during software installation. If it's a web site
provide a consistent, standard *web* interface).
