Ticket Details

Form helper, using <button> tags instead of <input type=button />

RFC Ticket (closed)

###What happened:
- Using the Form helper, adding a submit/button to a page, an ```<input>``` tag was generated, with ```type=submit```.


###What was expected:
- I would expect a more semantically correct ```<button>``` element to be generated, where as the css selector for styling such element is much simpler (and faster) and works in every known browser. 
- Also styling a ```<button>``` element is a lot easier and more widely supported in older browsers.

The ```button``` helper could be displaying a ```button```, but the ```submit``` one should continue to use ```input type=submit``` _imho_. At least, it's how I would expect them to behave if I had no documentations whatsoever.
