[whatwg] WF2: Non-validating submit buttons

Hi,

From: "Kornel Lesinski" <kornel at osiolki.net>

Ok.

Although if a preview is forced then the fields are in fact not required, 
but I know that some blogs have both Post and Preview available but I don't 
know of any that differentiate between fields being required or not required 
(client-side) for submitting the form using the different submit buttons.

I agree though that it would be useful.
