type button for ButtonRenderer

Hi!

I'm using JSF ri 1.2_04.
I wanted to create a input of type button.

But the code does not let that:
ButtonRenderer, l. 143:
        // Which button type (SUBMIT, RESET, or BUTTON)
should we generate?
        String type = (String)
component.getAttributes().get("type");
        String styleClass;
        if (type == null || (!"reset".equals(type)
&& !"submit".equals(type))) {
            type = "submit";
            // This is needed in the decode method
            component.getAttributes().put("type",
type);
        }

The comment let us forsee that we can use the type button,
but the
code lets only submit and reset.

Was the "button" type removed on purpose? Why?

I just ended by writting my own ButtonRenderer, but I found
this
solution "overengineer"  just for
an input of type button.

 From the relevant section of the renderkit specification:

Type of button to create. Valid values are
"submit" and "reset". If not 
specified, or not a valid value, the default value is
"submit".

At any rate, feel free to log an enhancement against the
spec [1].
