I don't think I have ever used a reset button except by accident, and then been furious because all my laboriously entered data has been lost. Reset buttons hurt UX. Let's drop it! I'd even go so far as to suggest that the Cancel button actually be made a link, as it has to be styled separately otherwise so as not to compete visually with the submit button.

Point taken.. I'll drop the reset button.

Styling the cancel button is a matter for CSS, though. It's easier to make it look like a non-button while still being a button than the reverse.
