HTML5 made me sad when it took away, <a href="/home"> <button>Home</button> </a> That's validating under HTML4 strict. There was a valid way to use buttons without a form element or javascript, but now there is not. It was also neat from the standpoint that anchor doesn't allow nested block content (like a div), but button does. And since anchor doesn't require an href, you could use the same thing inside a form and let the button do the submit. That way you could uniformly style all your buttons/anchors on your entire site, whether they were really links or butttons.

While we’re at it, stop using the aws trackme links for everything in your email. It’s a freaking UPS tracking number, just let me just track the darn package.
