We could certainly add something like this.

It would, however, be desirable if we had some robust JavaScript
to go with it and an working example for the http:eamples;exports.file
That way users don't have to contend with Javascript themselves.

Ideally, one very general piece of Javascript could produce a whole
range of button styles based on parameters pass to it and code variants
emitted.

Can you send along some working JavaScript to your button code?

Beyond, this a widget toolkit linked to input types and the presentation
presentation types in W3P would be a really nice facility.
