This would work for <input type=submit>, but for <button type=submit>
this would submit (name,innerHTML) rather than (name,value).
Also, we don't want to have the onclick event to fire on the button
since the page author might have attached some custom script here, which
should only be executed if the button was actually clicked. (Although
one could argue that onclick *should* be fired, as the spec implies that
the enter implicitly clicks the button - I'm not sure what is the right
interpretation is here?)
