Button with URL doesn't pass HTML validation

[SeriousKen]

When a button on a form has a URL it is wrapped in an anchor tag, this does not pass validation at validator.w3.org with the error "The element button must not appear as a descendant of the a element."

What is the correct version?

@NicoHood it should be a link, if you want it to look like a button then it should be styled as a button. a tags should not wrap button tags and vice versa. It doesn't validate and it isn't semantically correct either.
