Hi, I also know the problem particularly when I discuss with developers. Often I have the situation that we have a form that can be submitted (so we have a "save" or "ok" button) and we have a "cancel" button.
The points we discuss is: - do we need a cancel button on a website where you can click somewhere else and you can start again - and - should the cancel button look like a button or a link - because the developers opinion is, that it works like a link so it should look like a link. My opinion is that in most of the cases the user don't know what happens behind the UI so he don't have a problem that it look like a button. Moreover a button has the advantage that it is better visible and if the user often uses this functionality and doesn't find it at the first sight you can use the "button" design (or as Ariel mentioned to support the link with an icon).
