One more thought on the topic:
When you offer the user two choices {Confirm | Cancel} they should both use the same interface. If they were both links I'd be disappointed but would get used to it. Mixing them up is what seems so wrong.
The point about one being a link and one being a button is that both actions are _not_ equivalent. Users are most likely looking at the form _because_ they want to delete (or do whatever) something, not because they want to cancel their action. At first I didn't like the form too, but I am now convinced that it is a good thing. Cheers, Gerhard
