[Soks] User reaction: edit page button/link mixture

[Soks] User reaction: edit page button/link mixture

FWIW, another piece of input:

My officemate, Bill Wood, was confused by the things at
the bottom of context text window on the edit view:

  [Submit] (Do not Save) or (Delete) this page.

The [submit] is a form button while the other two
are parenthetical links.

He said that he was initially confused as to what
the parenthetical links were supposed to mean.
For instance, he thought they were somehow explaining
the [submit] button.

In his mind, if they could all be rendered as
buttons or all rendered as links^1, their intent
and function would have been clearer to him.

^1 Although buttons are probably better due to
people's familiarity with web forms and their
ubiquitous "buttons".
