Re: Do buttons need to follow 2.4.4 or 2.4.6?

James: Are you suggesting that all iconic links such as <a><img 
src="appraisal_start.png" alt="Start Appraisal Process"></a> are 
violating 4.1.2? Or are you stating that only if the link looks like a 
button (this is very subjective) then it should be a violation?
