yes and no!
its technically a different element.
Probably more importantly if it were added to the buttons collection or we used
it like ie.button(:index,2) then existing scripts may now not work, as the
reset button may now be in the middle of the collection (or index number). eg:
if I currently have
ie.button(:index,2).click
for this html
<input type=button name='foo'>
<input type='reset' name=reset>
<input type=button name = button2>
and we add the reset type to the buttons objects, then my script is broken, as
index 2 is now not the button2 that it was originally
Of course, if you're using name or id instead of index its not an issue.
