I'd like to have a simple way of using <button> along with <a> to
create pretty links. This markup works in Opera, Mozilla, and Webkit:

  <a href="http://www.w3.org/"><button>W3C</button></a>

but it's not valid HTML5 it seems. I propose to make it valid.

The inverse (a inside button) only works in Webkit.

Cheers,
