> Ever since version 5.2, setting a Submit's (or LinkSubmit's) "mode" parameter to "cancel" causes Tapestry to skip client-side validation, but not server-side validation. This is counter-intuitive and leads to extra boiler-plate code to set a flag in onCancel() and check it in onValidate() to decide whether to perform server-side validatation. Instead, "cancel" should automatically skip server-side validation (triggering the cancel event _instead of_ validate, success and failure events).
> For backward compatibility, a new symbol, "tapestry.form-cancel-client-only", will be false by default but can be overridden to true to restore the previous behavior.
> The existing _mode="unconditional"_ setting will remain available for those cases where server-side validate, success and failure events should still be triggered (such as _save as draft_ scenarios) without client-side validation.
> As part of this change, the documentation for Submit, LinkSubmit, EventConstants#CANCEL, SubmitMode#CANCEL and Form will be updated to remove the current ambiguities.
