If this returned buttons, which button would you expect it to return in
various situations and why?

I just checked one UA (Firefox), and the way it handles this situation
is that it stores the "submitter" (in the sense of the argument to
<https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#form-submission-algorithm>) on the
"submit" event itself. Exposing it as a property on that event would
make a lot of sense to me.
