+1.  So we should give some thought on how the user can specify button names and link them to transition names.  By default, the transition names are chosen, but the user should be able to override these.   If no transition name is specified and no button name is given, we can't do anything else except come up with a silly generic name.

good point.  that button got me fooled too.   since there is a task.cancel method, i thougt it was cancelling the task.  "Back to Inbox" is indeed better
