Agreed, unless they are using GET instead of POST

Same response as above.

Not if using GET... and it depends, because you could create a javascript to
modify the behavior of the back button and to call values from hidden form
elements that would supply the values necessary.

>  - reloading gives a "repost form data" message.
Again, only if POST, not GET

Not necessarily true, but a good point.  You can put alt text on a form
submit button.

>  - non-js browsers and browsers with js disabled
A non-js browser?  sigh.  I really wish we could get past browsers that
don't support commonly used (98%+ of the market) technologies that have been
around since 1996 (6 years+)
