because wicket is so flexible that you can do almost everything with just
one component!
for the html below i would use button.. But that is because it is visual a
button.
The differences are i guess that button has the submit() method and link the
onClick()
and because of those silly behaviours we have suddenly a Button can also
'have' an onclick.
and Link could be a form submitting component when it implements the
interface....
So how to streamline all this? i don't know
lets just make Button and Link pretty much behave the same.

since everyone is talking about this can i add some more flames? why is
Link
called link? cause really its not just a link.
you can do:
add(new Link("foo") {});
and in markup have
<a wicket:id="foo"></a>
<input type="button" wicket:id="foo"/>
<button wicket:id="foo"/>
so its not just a link.
