Well... a button is not "basically a link", as there is no standard
default action associated with buttons.
Probably the _majority_ of buttons used in the Emacs distrution act
basically like links, but there are also certainly those that don't
(e.g., in "international/mule-defs.el" it uses a button for changing the
sort order of a displayed table).
As buttons can be defined hierarchically -- a button's behavior is
(usually) defined by its "button-class", and a button-class can inherit
from a superclass -- maybe a cleaner way would be to add a standard
button-class named "link", and make link-like buttons inherit from it.
Then the "link" button class would use the "link" face by default.
