Aaah; well, if you are as warped as I am . . .
I ALWAYS use images as buttons, as I like to guarantee a unified
look-and-feel
as well as font consistency cross-platform.
I have been known to used graphic objects, video-payers and even fields
as buttons.
Therefore, I, amongst others, might choose to use prefixes not to
indicate what controls
actually are, but what they are used for!
