buttons assumes its an input control with type button, button tags aren't recognized. the downside of this means that you can't iterate through buttons with button tags. The way we deal with buttons needs to be figured out, and might include buttons as we currently support them with buttons - input tags marked with buttons - as well as actual button tags.
