    "Not conforming to the spec", if you prefer.
      The spec says value is optional for all input type except radio and checkbox. Sending is not an error, or non-conformance.

        All that says is that specifying a value is not forbidden. I don't deny that. It's not specifying a value that wrong, it's specifying a value of "thisvalue" (or anything else) for image buttons.

        The value for image buttons is a coordianate, but "thisvalue" is a not a coordinate. In fact, there's is no syntax to allow you to specify a coordinate, so there is no valid value you can specify for it.
