This is true!  BUTTON is allowed within A |INPUT | SELECT | TEXTAREA | LABEL
| BUTTON | FORM | FIELDSET.

Huh?  INPUT definitely requires a FORM.

Have you read the W3C's HTML 4.0 specs?  It states quite clearly the
differences between BUTTON and INPUT.  Basically, BUTTON has content and
INPUT is empty.  (e.g. <BUTTON>Some HTML on the button face!<IMG
src="abouttime.jpeg"></BUTTON> versus <INPUT>)

Read the HTML Specs concerning BUTTON:
