Attribute is incorrect. Subclassing and creating a new tag is more appropriate: SubmitLinkTag

> It would be nice to have the html:link tag accept an optional "method" attribute that defaults to "get" and when set to "post" does one of a couple different things.
> 1 - adds a form, method="post" with hidden elements and a javascript link to submit the form.
> 2 - adds a form, method="post", with hidden elements and a button to trigger the action
> This is needed because of the issue brought to light by google accelerator wrt URLs that do something other than retrieve data-- they need to be HTTP POSTs.  So a common use case for html:link is to create "delete" links, which should be http POSTs.
