Hey folks,

I've got a customer pointing me to http://www.kloots.net/ie8/bug-01.php, which demos a supposed IE8 bug. However, I've searched HTML4 and HTML5 and can't find any normative text that backs up the author's claim that it's wrong to submit the BUTTON's value if the button is not of type=submit.

Is this really a bug? If so, can you conjure up some clarifying text in section 4.10.5?
