David,
at the end of the day only a site Creator knows what has been done.
Further, speaking personally, not all of my experiences are form related
with that button.
for many users, all that matters,is an open door to content and
information.

there are some script buttons that if I type this, note the upper case,

The button can be submited, as if I had clicked on the button instead.
That's a special case. In that case the button probably is part of a form
and runs javacript which eventually submits the form. If it works fully, the
javascript is probably only validating the form, although there is still a
risk that they fail to validate at the server and you end up with GIGO.
HTML5 buttons don't have to be part of a form, and the form that actually
gets submitted may contain hidden fields derived from, or replacing the user
entered field. The form might not even be sent to the server, but processed
locally, which is sometimes a good thing, as there are sites that process
sensitive data, like DNA callouts, purely within the browser, which is
something that Lynx cannot do.
