I didn't see mention of this in 
ftp://15.254.100.100/pub/draft-raggett-www-html-00.txt
How is it specified.  Is there anonther attribute to the submit type
or is the value of the submit button always sent?  Will this break
existing implementations?  How *EXACTLY* is it being implemented in
Xmosaic. (It's not always the same as the spec)  Once I get the 
answers to these burning questions I can get it implemented in
2.3 for release soon.
