 * I need in my theme to make the Post Comment button into a real <button>.
 * I noticed in comment-template.php it is hard-coded to be an <input>. So how do
   I make it into a <button> then?

 * Why not add a button image as a background via CSS?

 * I was afraid of “why”-questions. I’m a skilled frontend-developer, and I know
   what I’m doing. I also know quite well what I want for my HTML, and why I want
   it that way.
 * A background image is one of worst ways of working around it, especially knowing
   there has to be a good solution. Something spits out <input>, and all I want 
   it to have it spit out <button>. Don’t care much how.

 * Then write your own custom callback for the comment form.
