    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.

        Thats nonsense.foo.x=1;foo.y=2;foo=thisvalue
