This fits nicely with Axel.Belinfante's suggestion:
> It looks like no NAME=VALUE pairs are returned for 'submit' entries

> </FORM>
In this case the VALUE attribute can be used as the button label.
I am currently revising the HTML+ draft spec and will include this.
Note that using an SGML attribute for the label text prevents us
from using character entities such as É - we are therefore
restricted to Latin-1 characters for labels and initial values for
text input fields (this doesn't apply to TEXTAREA). I hope this isn't
a problem.
