That is how I read it.  I got caught out with this very early in its
life, as I prototyped on a browser the marketing people would never
even dream of using (Lynx) which got it right, and then found the
big name GUI browser didn't identify the button.

However, there is no sensible fallback for button, so its not really
suitable for use in anything except a closed environment where you know
exactly which browser is being used, and you are prepared to recode if
forced to use another browser because an employee needs to use it.
