Looks like Gecko, IE, Opera, and the spec all agree. WebKit seems to be the
lone dissenter;

Incorrect. Gecko migrated to the 'work in progress' spec, before, Firefox was
also working in the described way. I posted this bug because of the gazillion
bug reports on the Mozilla bugtracker system, I don't see this as an incident
of one intraset website. Especially not considering this is a W3Schools
example.

I don't really see a good use case.

Then just answer the trivial question: why is any input type button posting a
name and a value, except for type=image. It is far from a logical decision,
which in this entire thread I am asking for. Why remove the feature and not
complement it like happens for every other input-tag?
