Scenario: User has to input large amounts of repetetive information (think
generated Access db forms, etc). User inputs information, hits back button,
hits Reset, continues. Saves round-trip to the server to reload the page,
speeds the process up, etc.

I actually made an argument very much like this against the Reset button on
another list several years ago, and someone made the point that they were
using it like this, so I pass it on. ;)
